''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' called ''Space Rogue'' an "interesting" blend of arcade action, role-playing interaction and economic strategy.{{sfn|DeWitt|1989|p=38}}

In the January 1990 edition of ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'', Patricia Hartley and Kirk Lesser called it a refreshing science-fiction game with crisp graphics that gives the players the feeling of flying in space. They concluded by giving it a rating of 3.5 out of 5, saying that it was an enjoyable adventure that offers a lot of action for a minimal investment.{{sfn|Hartley|Lesser|1990|pp=76-79,102}}

''[[Compute!]]'' stated that "the best of flight simulation and role-playing come together in ''Space Rogue'' ... believably and with style".{{sfn|Guerra|1989|p=132}}

One reviewer for ''[[Zzap!64|Zzap64]]'' in 1990 wrote: "I thought ''[[Elite (video game)|Elite]]'' could never be beaten as the greatest ever space game, but after playing ''Space Rogue'' for hours on end I've changed my mind. This totally outclasses ''Elite'' and is the best Space Game for any machine!"{{sfn|Hogg|1990|p=8}}

In the June 1990 edition of ''[[Games International]]'', Mike Siggins was very disappointed in this game, calling it "an almost exact lift of ''Elite''". He concluded by giving it a very poor rating of 2 out of 10, saying that the players should save the money and stick with the original.<ref name=gi>{{cite magazine|last=Siggins|first=Mike| date=June 1990 |title=Computer Games|journal=[[Games International]]| issue=15|pages=43}}</ref>
