Ken Rolston reviewedQueen's Harvest forDragon magazine in July 1991. He felt thatQueen's Harvest is more elaborate thanKing's Festival in its role-playing and tactical challenges, and that the basic dungeon presented had a smart design and interesting story. With regard to the portion of the adventure involving the siege of an enemy stronghold, he felt the "clear and detailed discussion and organization of the defenders' tactics and motives" creates the opportunity for players to incite "discord among defenders". He did point out a minor flaw: there is no tactical map of the Queen's Keep. He concluded the review by stating thatKing's Festival andQueen's Harvest "are absolutely the best introductory adventures in print forD&D-game-style fantasy role-playing games (FRPGs). Presented simply and clearly enough for young folks, these adventures are also challenging and entertaining enough for experienced gamers."[2]
