SlideToPlay wrote "Junk Jack is a hard game to get into, but once you do you might not want to stop. Addicting isn't appropriate enough to describe this game. This game consumes time. "^[2] AppSpy wrote "Junk Jack isn't Minecraft, nor does it feel like it needs to be as its 2D world provides the same level of novel exploration fun while presenting challenges of its own to overcome; a tightly balanced free form experience that's only going to get better with time. "^[3] AppSafari wrote "This iPhone app is definitely worth checking out if you're interested in building your own world in the way that you want and defending it. "^[4] 148apps said "Suffice it to say, Junk Jack is a hands-down, no questions asked must-own for any and all iOS users who love sandbox crafting games. "^[5] TouchArcade wrote "If you can adapt to the controls, you're left with a game of great potential. "^[6] Games Master UK described it as "A game you'll return to again and again".^[7] Multiplayer.it said "Junk Jack's clearly lack of direction can be a great flaw for some kind of players, but Pixbits' debut game is probably the best crafting game on iOS. Way better than Minecraft: Pocket Edition. "^[8]

AppSmile said "Less of a game and more of an adventure in existence, Junk Jack offers a rich environment to farm and craft to your heart's content. "^[9] Pocketgamer UK said "Junk Jack owes a significant debt to Minecraft but has a personality of its own. A worthy companion to the real thing. "^[10] Everyeye.it said "Junk Jack is the most near example of Terraria porting with Minecraft crafting system. But its major flaw it's the fact that it does run on a 3,5 screen, which make you feel disoriented and limited. It's a pity, because its crafting system is great and it could guarantee a long life to itself. "^[11] Tap wrote "Movement is done through swiping in your intended direction – it's nicely simple, but imprecise. Sometimes there are small monster-like creatures, which come out to play at night. "^[12]
