Paul O'Connor reviewed Ravenscrag in The Space Gamer No. 45.[1] O'Connor commented that "If you play D&D or think you can overcome the problems of non-specific text, then Ravenscraft is an excellent buy for the money."[1]
David Nalle reviewed Ravenscrag for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "It is a pity that Ravenscrag does not live up to the promise of its first few pages. The regional description and background may be a bit unimaginative, but they are workmanlike and well done. Yet, after reading the castle material, especially the later sections, it seems as it the designer deals with the early parts of the scenario in an almost offhand manner in his eagerness to wallow in the mindlessly repetitive chaos of the latter sections. I fear that in Ravenscrag Judges Guild has thrown away some good work in their longtime reliance on stale formulae. If they cannot break out of this pattern the FRPing market will soon leave them behind."[4]
