The game received middling scores from
Computer Games Strategy Plus and
Computer Gaming World. The former publication's Robert Mayer wrote, "It should appeal greatly to fans of naval warfare, but for those gamers not inspired by stories of Trafalgar and St. Vincent, it might just be a bit too austere." Conversely, it received a positive review from
William R. Trotter of
PC Gamer US, who called it a "sumptuous looking, smooth-playing recreation of a fascinating era." ==Legacy==
