In the March 1984 edition of Dragon (Issue 83), Tracy Hickman especially liked the cardboard figures mounted on plastic stands, saying, "At first look, I really didn’t think the cardboard characters would be much help. Yet in the playing of the game, these counters were so easy to use and added such a great visual element to the game that their value could not be questioned." The only problem Hickman had with this supplement was that the open-sided tray-type box was no good for subsequent storage of the components. "Anyone who likes this game is going to quickly find himself with lots of game components and nowhere to store them." [2]
Nick Davison reviewed James Bond 007 Gamesmaster Pack for Imagine magazine, and stated that "A comprehensive set of gaming aids of varying degrees of value." [3]
In the November 1984 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #59), Bob Neville called the cardboard figures "stylish" and of "good solid quality", but he noted the gridsheet "is too likely to decay quickly since it is on thin paper." Neville also noted the lack of a proper box for storage, didn't feel any of this material was really essential, and concluded by giving the supplement a very poor overall rating of only 4 out of 10, saying it was not "worth the money asked... Victory Games has better learn very quickly about packaging game add-ons if they expect to sell any." [1]
