In the May 1995 edition of Dragon (Issue #217), Lester W. Smith gave this book a thumbs up, calling it "an excellent addition to the game's mythos [...] The art and text carry on the tradition of the original game, resulting in another book that is refreshingly concise, and just as darkly horrific." Smith concluded by giving the book an above average rating of 5 out of 6, saying "While you certainly don’t need the Dangerous Prey book to play the Whispering Vault game, the material it provides will definitely enhance a campaign. I highly recommend it." [3]
In the following edition of Dragon (Issue #218 – June 1994), Rick Swan also reviewed Dangerous Prey and liked what he saw, saying, "So vivid is the writing, the pages practically ooze slime." [4]
