Reception
Disney Illusion Island received "mixed or average reviews" from critics, according to the review aggregator platform Metacritic.

The game's accessibility mechanics and options were praised and considered to be a satisfactory introduction to platformers or Metroidvania games. By deeming Metroidvania as one of the most entertaining and confusing genres, PCMag expressed admiration at the effort towards making the style accessible. Digital Trends called it "a welcoming adventure that fits the Disney ethos" and Shacknews classified it as "Baby's First Metroidvania". Although critics saw the game as relatively easy, which Nintendo Life sees as the game's main flaw, Destructoid saw the difficulty "ramp up nicely in the second half" and, according to GameSpot, the game becomes "surprisingly" harder as it demands for careful timing towards the end.

Eurogamer and The Guardian perceived the lack of variety between biomes as making it easier to get lost.

David Housen's score for the game earned special praise from Game Informer alongside the visuals, voice acting and gameplay.
