Cube Creator 3D received mostly positive reviews. While it was considered a "Minecraft clone",^[5][6][7] critics praised the bringing of a Minecraft-like experience to the Nintendo 3DS,^[8][7] though they also critiqued it as having less depth.^[6][9] Mitch Vogel of NintendoLife said "While it certainly does not approach the level of depth of [Minecraft], Cube Creator 3D's simple presentation offers enough that it successfully manages to capture the adventurous spirit that made its inspiration such a runaway success."^[6] Pierre Yves of Digitally Downloaded stated "While not offering anything overly new, it gets the interface right and makes use of the hardware well."^[8] Bryan Rose of the Nintendo World Report praised the game's creative mode for allowing the player to build their own environment, but found the survival mode less fun.^[9] Neal Ronaghan of IGN praised its low price.^[7]

Two sequels to Cube Creator 3D were made, entitled Cube Creator DX (2018) for the 3DS^[10] and Cube Creator X (2019) which was for the Nintendo Switch and published by ARC Systems Works.^[11] Cube Creator X was released on Steam in 2019.^[12]
