- Action Trip - Review, 82%. "Play it patiently, explore, fight and enjoy... It just might do the trick before the heavy hitters like Starlancer and Freelancer arrive."

- Computer Games Online - Review by Dave Markell, 3/5. "Beyond the frontier, but not beyond Elite."
www.cdmag.com/articles/025/031/xfrontier_review.html
- EuroGamer - Review by John Bye, 3/10. "Overall this game is dull, tedious, repetitive, boring, and highly frustrating. Avoid at all costs."

- Game Revolution - Review by Johnny B, D. "While not a technical disaster or a malicious creature, it is nonetheless a stunning example of how to make a game that lacks the quintessentially important fun factor."

- Games Domain - Review by Chris McMullen. "It's fun to play at first, but tends to get fairly tedious when you realise it's rather limited - when you realise you can't change your ship, actually take on any missions, or do anything of any real interest."

- IGN - Review by Trent C. Ward, 77%. "Not bad, but it's still not Elite."

- Intelligamer - Review by Beth Wasden, 3/5. "The game offers unlimited play length because of its open-ended nature, but I found the experience rather bland and tedious."

- PC Gameworld - Review by John Misak, 78%. "This is one of those rare games that does what it sets out to do, doesn't stumble often, but doesn't leave you with your jaw hanging either."

- Science Fiction Weekly - Review by J.B. Peck. "Hardcore space-combat heads will probably find X slow and frustrating. But people looking for a game that takes them away to another world where they can really live, at least for a while, will enjoy X's otherworldly immersion."

- The Adrenaline Vault - Review by Kareem Harper, 3/5. "X during the first few sessions can be a joy to play. Poor design choices, and repetitive actions, keeps X from being as memorable and fun as Elite was."

- ZD Net - Review by Quinton Evans, 60%. "If you loved Frontier: Elite 2 then youll love this. Although if you're more of a Descent: Freespace fan, you will hate it with a passion and possibly a hammer."
