William A. Barton reviewed The FCI Consumer Guide in The Space Gamer No. 52.[1] Barton commented that "All in all, The FCI Consumer Guide could prove to be one of the more useful supplements yet published for Traveller."[1]
Bob McWilliams reviewed The FCI Consumer Guide for White Dwarf #36, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10 for the novice, and 7 for the expert, and stated that "This booklet collects together a great deal of useful information suitable for any type of Traveller campaign."[3]
Tony Watson reviewed The FCI Consumer Guide for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Any Traveller group with a little imagination could come up with this equipment and performance parameters as the situations arose. The Guide, though, will save the referee valuable time by providing him with a readily available source of equipment for everyday use."[4]
