Rated 2/5 by Philip Jong. "A decent graphic adventure in the King's Quest tradition that boasts trend setting cel animations with possible mass and family appeals."

Point/counterpoint editorial. Matthew Murray criticizes the one-icon interface, the storyline, and the ending which ruins the ending to King's Quest IV. Philip Jong argues for the value of icon interfaces and of graphics.

Rated D by Adam Rodman. "It was boring, had a horrible interface, was laughably easy, had sort of cheesy voice acting, and it turned a strong-willed female character into a ditz that acted like she belonged in Clueless."

"It's not the best King's Quest adventure but nevertheless it still has a lot of charm and magic." By Rosemary Young.
