Rick Swan reviewed ''GURPS Time Travel'' for ''Dragon'' magazine #191 (March 1993).<ref name="Dragon #191">{{cite journal| last = Swan| first = Rick| authorlink = Rick Swan| title = Role-playing Reviews| journal = Dragon| issue = #191| pages = 83–84| publisher = TSR| location = Lake Geneva, Wisconsin|date=March 1993}}</ref> According to Swan, "''GURPS Time Travel'' borrows ideas from everyone from H.G. Wells to Dr. Who and blends them into a cohesive whole, resulting in the most comprehensive take on time travel to date. Though intended for the ''GURPS'' system, the material is generic enough for any system, presuming the referee does his homework. Bursting with baffling jargon and giddy analyses of nonsensical concepts, ''GURPS Time Travel'' is exactly the type of book that makes civilians think role-players are out of their minds. Consider that a recommendation."<ref name="Dragon #191"/>
