Shannon Appelcline commented that "There were 15 actual adventure modules published in MERP's original adventure line, from Bree and the Barrow-Downs (1984) to Dark Mage of Rhuduar (1989), but up until 1987 these read more like small-focus setting books, with a few (usually very short) adventures thrown in."{{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons: The '80s|publisher=Evil Hat Productions|year=2014| isbn=978-1-61317-081-6}}{{rp|102}}

Jon Sutherland reviewed Bree and the Barrow-Downs for White Dwarf #58, giving it an overall rating of 6 out of 10, and stated that "The Barrow Downs present only a smash and grab basis for scenarios, even then you would need a small army to get out alive! The colour maps are useful, though."{{cite magazine | last =Sutherland | first =Jon | title =Open Box | magazine =White Dwarf | issue =58 | pages =12–13 | publisher =Games Workshop | date = October 1984 }}

Andy Blakeman reviewed Bree and the Barrow Downs for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Bree and the Barrow Downs is my favourite; the degree of characterisation in the descriptions of the inhabitants of Bree-land is heartening, and the Barrows themselves provide an interesting bit of adventure."{{cite journal | last = Blakeman |first = Andy | title =Notices | type = review | journal = Imagine | issue = 22| pages =42| publisher = TSR Hobbies (UK), Ltd. |date=January 1985}}
