Don Turnbull reviewed 1001 Characters for White Dwarf #14, giving it an overall rating of 6 out of 10, and stated that "A frustration of Traveller lies in the character-generation system which, if you are unlucky, takes you quite a lot of die-rolling to reveal that the very promising character you are dealing with unfortunately got killed in his final term of service, whereupon you start the whole process again. This booklet allows players to avoid that process, and for this reason alone will be regarded as a valuable asset for those to whom character-generation is merely a tedious pre-requisite to getting down to the game proper."Forrest Johnson reviewed 1001 Characters in The Space Gamer No. 28. Johnson commented that "This booklet is for players who do not want to take the time to create their own . It also gives the characteristics of nine famous characters from SF stories, without naming them."
