In the October 1985 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #70), Megan C Robertson warned that "this is not a module that can be run with minimal presentation." Robertson called the presentation of the adventure "well done", and also liked the NPC and monster stats printed on separate cardstock, "eliminating wild thumbing through the module at a critical moment." She lauded the player handouts such as a map, fragments from a prayer book, and the page of a diary, calling them "the most striking of the 'extras'." However, she found the overall dungeon "lacking in originality until the later stages." She concluded by giving the module an above average rating of 8 out of 10, calling it "a module which overall pays much attention to those little details that make an adventure just that little bit special for DM and players alike; a worthy effort that bodes fair to set new standards in scenario presentation."
