Phil Frances reviewed Terror from the Stars for White Dwarf #79, and stated that "Terror From The Stars stands up well against other releases of its type (The Asylum, or Curse of the Chthonians for example), and the added advantage of a lower price means you can't really go wrong with this one." [2]
Lisa Cohen reviewed Terror from the Stars in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 77. [1] Cohen commented that "The whole package is ideal, especially with the manual it makes it well worth the price. I would recommend this module to avid Cthulhu players. Remember, when playing the scenarios, have a happy voyage and don't drink the water!" [1]
