Critics have generally received Kamiusagi Rope x Boruto: Naruto Next Generations with a mix of appreciation for its inventive crossover concept and some reservations regarding its niche appeal.

Supporters praise the unique blend of styles, with Anime News Network highlighting its “refreshing comic relief that complements Boruto’s intensity,” and fans enjoying the humorous insertions of Kamiusagi Rope within the ninja narrative. However, some reviewers on platforms like MyAnimeList find the special somewhat short and limited in scope, feeling it leans more towards fanservice with minimal plot development.
