Super Cars II received generally favorable reviews upon release. Carsten Borgmeier wrote in Amiga Joker magazine, "Super Cars II is the stuff computer runabouts dream of!"
Top Gear ranked Super Cars II No. 48 of the 50 greatest driving games for its career mode, which it said had not been surpassed since. Digital Spy listed the game as one of the 30 greatest Amiga games, citing its introduction of split-screen multiplayer and its combination of "plug-and-play simplicity with smooth handling and a palpable sense of speed". Den of Geek considered it to be one of the most underappreciated games for Atari ST.
