 ''Mario Party 7'' has received mixed to positive reviews, with aggregate review sites Metacritic scoring it a 64 based on 25 reviews<ref>{{cite|url=www.metacritic.com/game/gamecube/mario-party-7|title=Metacritic score of ''Mario Party 7''|publisher=Metacritic|accessdate=August 27, 2016}}</ref> and GameRankings giving the game a score of 65.39% based on 28 reviews.<ref>{{cite|url=www.gamerankings.com/gamecube/928284-mario-party-7/index.html|title=GameRankings score of ''Mario Party 7''|publisher=GameRankings|accessdate=August 27, 2016}}</ref> Critics generally cite how similar the game plays to the rest of the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games, where they recommend it to seasoned ''Mario Party'' players or players who want a minigame collection to play with family or friends, but cannot draw in people who do not like the earlier entries of the ''Mario Party'' series.
-Ryan Davis of GameSpot gave the game a 6.5/10, saying that the game was a huge improvement.<ref>{{cite|author=Davis, Ryan|url=www.gamespot.com/reviews/mario-party-7-review/1900-6139696|title=Review of ''Mario Party 7''|date=November 11, 2005|publisher=GameSpot|accessdate=August 27, 2016}}</ref> He praised the controls, the challenging Bowser minigames and more usage of the mic, and mentioned that ''Mario Party 7'' is an actual party because of the use of 8-player modes and that the game really gets the whole family to join in the fun. However, Davis notes how the game is short on the originality department, where he states that 8-Player minigames are the only innovation ''Mario Party 7'' has going for it. Matt Casamassina of IGN gave the game a 7/10, noting the fun multiplayer experience, the 8-Player minigames, and the huge number of minigames, but also notes how the franchise is aging and that the single player experience is disappointing.<ref>{{cite|author=Casamassina, Matt|url=www.ign.com/articles/2005/11/07/mario-party-7 Review of ''Mario Party 7''|date=November 7, 2005|publisher=IGN|accessdate=August 27, 2016}}</ref> He ended with "''Mario Party 7'' is still entertaining, but I'd be a liar if I wrote that I'm not growing bored with new iterations of the same old formula. To its credit, the title delivers some fun new boards and mini-games, and the multiplayer experience is as robust and enjoyable as ever. But it in contrast dishes out a worthless single-player mode marred by tediously slow computer-controlled character interactions. And the overall presentation of the story, cut-scenes and real-time achievements is only passable."

 Ellie Gibson of Eurogamer gave the game a scathing review, criticizing the unoriginality and sheer tedium of the game, despite noting how some of the minigames are fun, giving the game a final verdict of 3/10.<ref>{{cite|author=Gibson, Ellie|url=www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_marioparty7_gc Review of ''Mario Party 7''|date=January 2, 2006|publisher=Eurogamer|accessdate=August 27, 2016}}</ref> On the other end, Dave 'Fargo' Kosak gave the game a 4 out of 5 Stars, while noting the similar feel it has to other ''Mario Party'' games and that it is running out of gimmicks, but has commented that it is slightly better than the last ''Mario Party'' game and that no other game franchise does the party formula as good as ''Mario Party'' has done.<ref>{{cite|author=Kosak, Dave|url=cube.gamespy.com/gamecube/mario-party-7/672431p1.html|title=Review of ''Mario Party 7''|date=November 29, 2005|publisher=GameSpy|accessdate=August 27, 2016}}</ref>
