''Madden NFL 23'' received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to [[Metacritic]].<ref name="MCPC"/><ref name="MCPS5"/><ref name="MCXSXS"/>
In its 7.0/10 review, ''[[IGN]]'' wrote: "''Madden NFL 23'', though, provides a glimpse of a light at the end of the tunnel with a handful of smart enhancements to animations, AI, and passing mechanics that make subtle but meaningful improvements to the moment-to-moment football on the field… After playing ''Madden NFL 23'' I finally have a little optimism that the series is on the right path — maybe not an emphatic 'Boom!', but clear forward progress for a series that so desperately needs it."<ref name="IGN"/> Also giving the game a 7/10, ''[[GameSpot]]'' said: "This year's ''Madden'' is a lot like the past decade of ''Madden'' in that it suffers a number of self-inflicted wounds and returns features that were unpopular in years prior. However, it's crucial to reiterate, on the field, ''Madden'' genuinely feels great for the first time in a long time. The changes to Franchise are helpful but not revolutionary, the MUT Field Pass system is promising but janky at launch, and other modes are largely forgettable… The improvements on gameday make ''Madden 23'' a flawed game, but clearly an improvement in the series' most important way: the actual playing of football."<ref name="GSpot"/> ''[[GamesRadar+]]'' gave the game 3 out of 5 stars, saying: "Some fun improvements make this playable – yet ''Madden'' still features too much carryover. Not just from last year, but the last decade."<ref name="GRadar"/> Shacknews rated it 3 out of 5 stars calling it "a poor pro football simulator".<ref
