Flying Buffalo had begun an ambitious publishing schedule after arranging a line of credit with a local printer in 1982, which included Citybook II: Port O' Call; however, after an ownership change the printer cut this line of credit in 1983 so it would be a year before Flying Buffalo could produce Citybook II (1984).

Scott D. Haring reviewed Citybook II for Fantasy Gamer magazine and stated that "Blade has got a winner with its 'Catalyst Series,' and Citybook II is an excellent addition to the line. If you're a gamemaster who's never let his players get near the open sea because you didn't know how to handle the action, here's a simple introduction that's both easy to run and lots of fun." [3]
