'' #28 (Aug./Sept., 1991), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "The game is a creative blend of reality with just the right amount of fiction and technology. The polymer overlays are great. I know people who would buy the book just for those. For a game that offers as much as games twice its price, it's a steal." Allen Mixson reviewed ''Millennium's End, Version 2.0'' in ''

'' #46 (Aug., 1994), rating it a 4.5 out of 5 and stated that "''Millennium's End'' is an excellent product. It's precise, imaginative, coherent and flexible. As I said of the first edition: it is a creative blend of reality, fiction and technology." ''Millennium's End'' was ranked 31st in the 1996 reader poll of ''Arcane'' magazine to determine the 50 most popular roleplaying games of all time. The UK magazine's editor Paul Pettengale commented: "''Millennium's End'' struggles hard to cut the right balance between fiction and reality, and just manages it. The game system is detailed, but this allows it to model the style of fiction it's based on with more accuracy. Players carry out investigations, espionage, and paramilitary operations, all of which are ably supported."
