The game was criticized for its campy tone and the out-of-place pop cultural references. (Some of the references that were made throughout the game were from Star Trek, Star Wars, E.T., Red Dwarf, South Park, The X-Files, Beavis and Butt-Head, The Wizard of Oz, Austin Powers, Homeward Bound, Starship Troopers, and Alien.) The game sold poorly; about 30,000 copies were sold. GameFront's Phil Owen wrote in 2010, "This one is known sort of as the red-headed stepdouche of the X-Com franchise, and yet this was the one I played the most", adding that he preferred the administration and space exploration parts over the "not particularly fun" simulation part.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
