- Computer Games Online - Review by Benjamin E. Sones, 3.5/5. "The good parts are worth the price of admission, and if you have played a lot of space sims in the past then you are probably used to the not-so-good parts already."

- Games First - Review by Thomas Hoff, 4/5. "Tradition needs to be broken and remade in order for innovation to take place. Unfortunately, the folks at Digital Anvil stuck to the formula and made a good game instead of a great game."

- GameSpot - Dreamcast review by Jeff Gerstmann, 71%. "The less than engaging storyline and the heavy focus on defensive missions holds the game back and keeps it from being as good as the classics that made the genre popular."

- GameSpot - PC review by Desslock, 77%. "While it's a shame that the developers did not fix all the weaknesses that were also found in prior games such as Privateer 2, StarLancer definitely matches, and in several ways improves on, the strengths of those games."
