In the September 1992 edition of Dragon (Issue 185), Allen Varney gave the book "high marks for creativity." He gave the writers "brownie points for valiantly trying to update Red Doom, the Soviet super group, for the post-Cold War world" but pointed out that the then-recent dissolution of the Soviet Union made their efforts obsolete again. However, Swan concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "Classic Organizations provides enough material to sate the most voracious campaign."{{cite journal|last=Varney|first=Allen|authorlink=Allen Varney| date=September 1992 |title=Roleplaying Reviews|journal=Dragon|publisher=TSR, Inc.|issue=185|pages=86}}
