The Reticule rated the game as "On Target" and said "As a nod to classic Sierra adventures and celebration of science fiction, D:HBTAMSDCI performs remarkably well. .. As a light-hearted comedy adventure with a few head-scratching puzzles, any fans of Space Quest or Zac McKracken will find plenty here to enjoy."

They define On target as "Above average game, certain aspects or niggles making the game not for everyone but a stand out example of the genre."
