William A. Barton reviewed Star Rovers, Module 1 in The Space Gamer No. 44.[2] Barton commented that "If your taste tends toward the fantastic in SF and you don't mind waiting for a space travel module, you may find Star Rovers to your liking. If you prefer science fiction or want a complete system to start with, your money will best be spent elsewhere."[2]
