William Hale reviewed The Stars Are Right in White Wolf #33 (Sept./Oct., 1992), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "The only things missing in this supplement are source materials for the game. I believe players and Keepers alike would enjoy seeing more information pertaining to new professions and new skills which could be integrated into the game. This would make an outstanding supplement such as this truly complete but is otherwise the only negative feature of a brilliant product." [1]
