Julian Rignall of Computer and Video Games compared the game negatively to other flight simulators of the time: "Although Sky Chase has an impressive front end, the game itself is very simplistic, and plays similarly to Ocean's failed Top Gun Licence; it pales in comparison with Cascade's Ace II. There's little difference between the planes, and the gameplay is very repetitive."

Gary Whitta of Commodore User summarized: "[...] I would only advise you to consider buying Skychase if you have a chum to play it with. The computer mode is boring, too easy, and ultimately a drag to play."

Zzap!64 concluded that the game is "An exhilarating flying game - at its best with two players at the controls."
