GameSpot gave the game a score of 4.5 out of 10, stating, "If you long for a quality fighting sail game, you'll be better off loading up TalonSoft's Age of Sail, the lone bright light in a sea of mediocrity"[3]
Dirk Lammers from The Tampa Tribune praised the 3-D graphics and battle sequences but criticized the missions plots which he thought were too shallow.[7]
