CNET said "Still, what Solitaire Deluxe for Windows lacks in history, it makes up for in games".[4]
The Oregonian said "With a selling price of less than $30, "Solitaire Deluxe" should find plenty of desk-top card players eager to add to their Windows game library. And the success of yet another solitaire game will ensure that other publishers will continue to develop even more versions of this game that already comes with most computers".[8]
