Compute! said "Although designed for breaks in the workday, Crosswords Deluxe is an ideal way to jump-start your brain on those particularly slow mornings. It's more natural than caffeine, but no less habit-forming".{{cite web|first=Scott|last=May|url=https://archive.org/details/1994-08-compute-magazine/page/106/mode/2up|title=Take a Break Crosswords|magazine=Compute!|page=105,106|date=August 1994|accessdate=January 22, 2025}}
