The gameplay of the game is generally regarded as fun and addictive, with solid driving mechanics and satisfying controls, particularly in a casual racing context. However, many players note issues such as grindy progression, repetitive gameplay, and a lack of depth in career mode, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game offers enjoyable mechanics and varied tracks, it suffers from design flaws and balancing issues that may disappoint more seasoned players.

- “The handling feels great, the drifting is super satisfying, the netcode is tight, collision mechanics just right, and there's tons of varied tracks to race on.”
- “It's very addicting, the gameplay is buttery smooth, obviously realism isn't what they were going for but the cars handle great and the controls feel just right, any top down view racing game in the future could learn a thing or two about how the controls should feel from this game.”
- “The game world feels as lifeless as the gameplay itself.”
- “This game looks like it came out 20 years ago... absolutely no incentive to go on with the career mode, the collision, the gameplay, the tracks layout, the cars, everything is uninspired and bland.”
- “I can't recommend it, even if graphically it looks nice and has a big map with lots of tracks, the major flaw is that the gameplay is excessively boring.”

- “The game is fast-paced, looks great, and has a surprisingly captivating soundtrack that does a fantastic job of pumping the game into high gear.”
- “The music in this game is great, but the tracks are small; there are so many turns so close together it's like they're 'little racers', which is the name of the game.”
- “It's a dead silent neighborhood in-game with no ambiance or music at all.”
- “The only negative thing I have to say about Little Racers Street is that the sound effect that is played when you've finished a race is horribly out of tune with the background music.”
- “Little Racers Street has a sloppy presentation; it almost looks like it could be a freeware game from a few years ago, and to say the music is placeholder is to be generous.”

The reviews consistently highlight that the game suffers from excessive grinding, making progression feel tedious and repetitive. Players often find themselves stuck in a cycle of racing for credits to unlock new cars, with many noting that the grind becomes monotonous and lacks meaningful rewards.

- “Grinding for upgrades sounds like a fair trade—until you realize it’s just a never-ending cycle of mind-numbing repetition.”
- “The whole game is one big grindfest, because to get to the A-class cars, you'll be grinding a lot, and I mean a lot.”
- “By the time you reach B-class, you'll only be making anywhere from 25-40% of your prize money, making grinding for money a long and tedious chore.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant performance issues, including stuttering and low frame rates, particularly in the early weeks after launch. While the game features a variety of performance tiers and upgrades that can enhance vehicle stats, the overall optimization is criticized as poor, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences. Additionally, some players noted design flaws that hinder navigation and performance, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “Upgrades actually affect your ride's performance.”
- “Upgrading a car's attributes will eventually bump up its performance class by one.”
- “This is a polished piece of software sporting fluid frame rates, weather, varied environments, day and night racing, an online mode for up to 12 players, a single player campaign, multiple skill levels, a well-designed AI, a damage model, time trial challenges with ghosts, multiple camera angles which include in-track views, 6 performance tiers featuring cars with weight, a fun handling model, upgrades, paint jobs, nice graphics, achievements, a sense of speed, time trials, over 300 leaderboards (one for each class and track), trading cards ... and I'm sure the kitchen sink is to be found as well.”
- “On the minus side, there is very poor career mode, confusing camera view sometimes, an unbalanced economic model, absence of power-ups and local multiplayer, and not very good optimization.”
- “Only problem I noticed is that the optimization is borked.”
- “I quit and tried to reload and play again, and now the performance is so bad it is unplayable, getting about 2 or 3 fps.”

- “The wide selection of cars and upgrades along with the different difficulty classes adds a lot of replay value too.”
- “There must be hundreds of different levels, all similar, but with very different routes, which makes for a lot of replayability.”
- “Now that I've played the game a bit more, I just want to say I'm having loads of fun playing, and the only thing this game needs to have more replayability is a larger online community.”
