Critical reception

Jihem of JeuxVideo noted that the game had inferior graphics, while expressing that it would appeal to intellectual history enthusiasts. Laura MacDonald of Just Adventure negatively compared the game to Syberia, and suggested that Putt Putt Travels Through Time was a more sincere game than Jerusalem. 4 Players’ Bodo Naser thought the game was too linear and had conversations that felt like the silent player hearing monologues from characters. Slydos of Adventure-Archiv thought the game was very short.
