Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Run to the Stars for White Dwarf #40, and stated that "Though slow-moving to begin with, and relying on a truly boggling coincidence at the climax, this is a superior SF adventure from an author I know well (bias declared) and whom I hate for getting a fanletter from Ursula Le Guin on his first published story."{{cite magazine | last =Langford | first =Dave | author-link =David Langford | title =Critical Mass | magazine =White Dwarf | issue =40 | pages =15 | publisher =Games Workshop | year = April 1983 }}

Dave Pringle reviewed Run to the Stars for Imagine magazine, and stated that "At base it's a conventional SF scenario: muscular hero and sexy-but-brainy girlfriend escape from a bureaucratic Earth and make their romantic run to the stars. However, it is all done with marvellous bravura and the narrative fairly crackles with energy. 'Banzai! Arrigato!'"{{cite journal | last = Pringle|first = Dave| author-link = David Pringle| title =Book Review | type = review | journal = Imagine | issue = 3| pages =36 | publisher = TSR Hobbies (UK), Ltd. |date=June 1983}}
