Reception

John Harrington reviewed Star Trek V: The Final Frontier for Games International magazine, and gave it 2 stars out of 5, and stated that "Despite the graphics and the very familiar subject matter, it is not particularly addictive. It is, perhaps, a bit too cerebral for your average shoot-em-up fan and probably a little too reliant on arcade adventure to appeal to the adult market."{{cite journal | last = Harrington |first = John | title =Computer Games | journal = Games International | issue = 12 | pages =50 |date=January 1990}}

Charles Ardai reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "It could have been so much more, though, than ten minutes of excitement followed by twenty years in a display case. That it isn't, especially with so much going for it, is a true pity."{{cite magazine | last=Ardai | first=Charles | authorlink=Charles Ardai |title=KLINGONS, GO HOME!

Jim Trunzo reviewed Star Trek V: The Final Frontier in White Wolf #21 (June/July 1990), rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier isn't the paragon of game design, but the segments that are enjoyable when coupled with the see-to-believe graphics make this program worth having, even if you're not a die-hard trekkie."{{Cite magazine |last=Trunzo|first=Jim|date=June–July 1990 |title=The Silicon Dungeon |magazine= White Wolf Magazine |number=21 |pages= 48–49 |url=https://imgur.com/a/NhA9PD7}}
