Robin D. Roberts reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "While an excellent program, the casual gamer may find his interest wane after a short time. This game is best suited for those who are interested in marketing simulations and are willing to expend the time needed to play them well."[1]
Bob Proctor reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that " what is happening and includes strategy tips. There is enough information here to qualify this game as an introductory course for Micro-economics; in fact, at a recent seminar, Cartels & Cutthroats was shown as an example of Computer-Assisted Instruction. Don't let that fool you; it's a great game!"[2]
