Bob McWilliams reviewed Action Aboard for White Dwarf #31, giving it an overall rating of 5 out of 10 for the novice, and 6 for the expert, and stated that "Well produced and with plenty going on, the designers have provided referees with as much help as can be fitted in booklets of this size, gone into detail at points in the adventure where it's necessary and not filled out with 'chrome'."[3]
