Pete Tamlyn reviewed *Don't Ask!* for *[White Dwarf](/source/White_Dwarf_(magazine))* #88, and thought the whole thing was an [in joke](/source/In_joke), stating that "you need to be a comic fan (and a DC aficionado in particular) in order to understand many of the jokes. That gives the adventure a much more limited audience".[1]
