Carol Hutchins reviewed Psytron for White Dwarf #56, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "I found it very exciting and thought that the addition of Freeze Time a very novel twist. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who finds playing wave after wave of identical, invincible opponents is tedious in the extreme."[1]
