As with both Asphalt 5 and Asphalt 6, the game was scored 3 out of 4.

Slide to Play's Nadia Oxford was somewhat less impressed, feeling the game wasn't differentiated enough from the previous games in the series, an argument Andrew Podolsky had made in his review of Asphalt 6 for the site. What it lacks in originality it makes up for in polish." Still, slight problems aside, fans of racing games will enjoy the total package offered in Asphalt 7: Heat." Lisa Caplan of 148Apps also scored it 4 out of 5, praising the graphics and controls, although criticizing the gameplay as being very similar to its predecessors "for the price Asphalt 7 is one of the best arcade racers on iOS. The social sharing hooks after every race can be a little annoying, and they delay the time getting to the next race. It has a couple of minor flaws, but nothing gamebreaking. Race junkies are going to love looking for shortcuts, catching air and blasting their way through the beautiful looking tracks to the sound of energetic techno music." TouchGen's Dave LeClair was also impressed, scoring the game 4 out of 5 "Overall, this is a great racing game. It's nice to see that Gameloft is improving each entry while managing to keep the cost low. IGN's George Roush was enthusiastic about the game, awarding a score of 8 out of 10, and concluding "If you're as much of a fan of the Asphalt series as I am then you're going to love Heat. The iOS version holds an aggregate score of 83 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on seventeen reviews, and a score of 81% on GameRankings, based on seven reviews. Upon its release, Asphalt 7 received generally favorable reviews. (iOS version) Aggregate scores Aggregator
