Norman S. Howe reviewed ''Star Empires'' in ''[[The Space Gamer]]'' No. 14.<ref name="SG">{{cite journal|last=Howe|first=Norman S. |date=November–December 1977 |title=Reviews|journal=[[The Space Gamer]]|publisher=[[Metagaming Concepts|Metagaming]]|issue=14|pages=41}}</ref> Howe commented that "It may be a coincidence, but this game emerges just when ''Star Wars'' is gaining popularity. This may account for my reaction to it. So go out and buy this game. Build an empire, use Nova Bombs and Planetbusters."<ref name="SG"/>
Martin Easterbrook reviewed ''Star Empires'' for ''[[White Dwarf (magazine)|White Dwarf]]'' #4, giving it an overall rating of 7 out of 10, and stated that "The basic philosophy of the rules is similar to that in ''Dungeons & Dragons'' in that they do not seek to limit your actions to a set of permissible rules but instead try to supply you with a means of representing the effect of ''any'' action that you might wish to make. That someone should have attempted this is not surprising; that it should be done so well is amazing!"<ref name="WD4">{{cite journal | last =Easterbrook | first =Martin | title =Open Box | journal =[[White Dwarf (magazine)|White Dwarf]] | issue =Issue 4 | pages =12-13 | publisher =[[Games Workshop]] | date = December 1977-January 1978 | issn =}}</ref>
