Reception

Ahoy! stated that Spy vs. Spy II "expands and improves" on the first game, with all-new traps and improved graphics.[4]

Steve Panak for ANALOG Computing wrote "you've got an action-packed game. Spy vs Spy II is a fantasy adventure recommended for all who enjoy a little harmless espionage."[5]
