Craig Sheeley reviewed Northern Mirkwood: The Wood-Elves Realm in The Space Gamer No. 73.^[1] Sheeley commented that "If you want a Tolkien-esque campaign, then Northern Mirkwood is an invaluable treatise. Unfortunately, for the [cost], you could get another Tolkien book."^[1]

Andy Blakeman reviewed Northern Mirkwood for Imagine magazine, and stated that "there is so much detail, and so many (often obscure) facts, that it would be a task of near-heroic dimensions to become thoroughly conversant with it all - and, indeed. I wouldn't recommend ICE products to anyone short of time or dedication."^[3]
