Samuel Claiborn of IGN scored ''Super Mario Party'' a 7.3/10,<ref>Samuel Claiborn (3 Oct 2018) [https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/03/super-mario-party-review ''Super Mario Party'' Review]. ''IGN''. Retrieved October 10, 2018.</ref> calling the game, "the best Party in two [home] console generations." He has praised the game for a perceived sense of being competitive, strategic, and fun, especially in Partner Party. However, Claiborn has cited the other modes not Mario Party or Partner Party as "filler", preferring the focus on the aforementioned two modes. He has also called the amount of boards lacking and that "Parties will get stale fast" due to what was considered a low number of boards and their believed simplicity, comparing unfavorably to ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. Claiborn has also described motion controls and the Joy-Con-exclusive functionality as troublesome, but not "as bad as the worst Wii-era games." Additionally, Claiborn has described the Switch functionality to interact with another console as cramped and "not put to great use". The amount of minigames have been praised, as well as the stated attention to detail in the minigames. He ended his review with the statement, "''Super Mario Party'' delivers the couch multiplayer experience the series is famous for with an awesome new layer of strategy, 80 mostly-great minigames, and the quirky tech of the Switch controllers to keep things feeling fresh. The downside is that with the Switch's controllers come some annoyances that make getting people settled onto your couch a bit more of a hassle than previous parties, and the best games are prone to annoying random upsets. But it's far better paced than recent games and ''Super Mario Party'' reset my expectations of the series with its graphics and gameplay creativity."

Stephan has noted that the content is "spread wide, but it's not very deep", and also noted that the available boards are not engaging. Stephan has criticized the game's AI, calling them "dumber than a sack of bricks at crucial moments." In the conclusion, he stated that "''Super Mario Party'' is just a very safe game. It brings back the classic Mario Party board game form, marrying it with some of the better ideas from ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', but it's light on the number of boards to play, lacks depth in other game modes, and misses opportunities for solo handheld and online multiplayer. It's ''Mario Party'', but it's not particularly super." | Samuel Claiborn of IGN scored ''Super Mario Party'' a 7.3/10,<ref>Samuel Claiborn (3 Oct 2018) [https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/03/super-mario-party-review ''Super Mario Party'' Review].
