The game received positive to average reviews. Entertainment Weekly called it "the first CD-ROM since Myst in which you can blissfully lose yourself for days, the world outside fading as your brain receives a lovely massage."[6] Computer Games Strategy Plus said: "Because the game forces you to return to the same screens over and over again, Eve can get quite tedious at times, but somehow it manages to transcend its pretensions and become a true work of interactive art."[3] However, GameSpot called it "a lavishly constructed audio-visual tour, but ... no more enriching than a day spent watching MTV."[5] Erik Reppen of Game Informer said: "The bizarre and surrealistic scenes shocked my monkey, but it wasn't much of a game. I kind of prefer to solve puzzles through creative logic, not trial-and-error."[4]
The game won the Milia d'Or Grand Prize award at Cannes in 1997.[7]
