William A. Barton reviewed Wanted: Adventurers in Space Gamer No. 72. [1] Barton commented that "Most of the scenarios outlined in Wanted: Adventurers are intriguing hooks that a clever referee can turn into exciting adventure situations." [1]

Arlen P. Walker reviewed Wanted: Adventurers for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "If you're after a 'read 'em and run 'em'-style adventure, pass this book by. On the other hand, if what you're after is a book of ideas which can fit into almost any campaign without a great deal of effort, this book is definitely worth the price of admission." [5]
