Market research firm PC Data reported that Atlantis III sold 10,200 retail units in North America for 2001,[1] and 24,927 during the first six months of 2002.[2] Its retail sales in the region for 2003 totaled 7,637 units.[3] The combined global sales of Atlantis III and its predecessors, Atlantis and Atlantis II, surpassed 1 million units by 2004.[4] According to review aggregation website Metacritic, the game received "generally favorable reviews" from critics.[5]

Staci Krause of IGN positively compared the game to Schizm and Road to India, praising its storyline as being both well developed and engaging.[6] Ron Dulin of GameSpot thought that the game lacked any sense of narrative cohesion, and instead focused on visually appealing environments and interesting puzzles.[7] Absolute Games gave the game a rating of 60%.[8]

Atlantis III was a nominee for GameSpot's 2001 "Best Adventure Game" award, which ultimately went to Myst III: Exile. The editors wrote: "Beyond Atlantis II is full of strange puzzles and metaphysical gobbledygook. But the constant barrage of strangeness actually works in the game's favor".[9]
