Shannon Appelcline noted that in the early 1990s, "Shadowrun was supported by over a dozen supplements each year—some of which were quite well-received, such as Seattle Sourcebook (1990), one of the first extensive RPG descriptions of a modern city, and Nigel Findley's adventure, The Universal Brotherhood (1990)."

In the November 1992 edition of Dragon (Issue #187), Allen Varney thought that the material in this book "expands spectacularly on the skimpy material included in the [original] Shadowrun rulebook." He concluded "[The book describes its] city in detail unprecedented outside of fantasy RPGs." [3]
