What the critics said
The reviewer in Electronic Fun with Computers & Games concluded that " "once you get the hang of it, Seaquest is a little like shooting fish in a barrel."

From retrospective reviews, Darran Jones wrote in Retro Gamer was one of the few games that lived up to its "fantastic box art" highlighting that Cartwright had "mixed things up by giving you divers to rescue and a strict air supply to manage."
