Rick Swan reviewed Fighter's Player Pack for Dragon magazine #214. He commented that: "One of the joys of any hobby is collecting all the junk that goes with it. These AD&D game accessories are a pack rat's dream come true." Swan concludes by saying: "Though recommended for ages 10 to adult, the Player Packs tilt toward the younger end of that scale—I can't imagine a 40-year-old hauling around a plastic briefcase. But if you're trying to lure a reluctant youngster into your campaign, you couldn't ask for better bait."
