Captain America received mixed reviews. Crash criticized the lack of definition of the characters and poor audio, calling the game "a disappointing licence, wasting great potential". Your Spectrum mostly agreed with the points of Crash, but said, "the graphics aren't going to win any awards, but they're a nice size and very clear". Sinclair User described the game as addictive and praised the challenging level of gameplay. A review by Commodore 64 magazine Zzap!64 felt that the instructions lead to confusion, and that the difficult and repetitive gameplay meant that the game didn't have any lasting appeal.
