Computer Gaming World offered two opinions of Birds of Prey. One criticized the game's lack of realism and flawed targeting, while the other favorably cited the wide variety of aircraft and recommended it to action-oriented flight gamers.[2] In a 1994 survey of wargames the magazine gave the title two stars out of five, reporting that "the various aircraft have suspiciously similar flight characteristics and instrumentation".[3]
