''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the Xbox 360 version four stars out of five and called it "an absolute must. If you've found yourself mouthing the words to A Milli on the tube, there's a huge amount of fun to be had here. And while it doesn't have the universal appeal of its more mainstream counterparts, the potential of its online feature means it could well become a huge sleeper success"."<ref name=Guardian>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2010/nov/25/def-jam-rapstar-review|title=Def Jam Rapstar - review|last=Arnott|first=Jack|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|date=2010-11-25|access-date=2014-02-26}}</ref>
