In the 2007 book "Designers & Dragons: The '80s", Shannon Applecline commented that this was one of the final "Paranoia" adventures to do well commercially, saying, "Though some post-Rolston releases like the pre-crash "Don't Take Your Laser to Town" (1988) and the time travel "Alice through the Mirrorshades" did well commercially, the uneven humor of the early '90s and the metaplot issues would eventually doom the ["Paranoia"] line."
