Randall commented that some of the Atari ST version's graphics were "superb" but wished that the pictures contributed to solving the game instead of being optional. He concluded that "Firebird has given us a good adventure, one that bodes well for the company and for all of us adventurers".<sup id="cite_ref-randall198610_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-randall198610-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>In the December 1986 edition of <i><a href="/wiki/Computer_Gaming_World" title="Computer Gaming World">Computer Gaming World</a></i>, Roy Wagner stated that <i>The Pawn</i> "shows how well something can be done for the Amiga when one KNOWS the machine".<sup id="cite_ref-wagner198612_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wagner198612-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Roy Wagner reviewed the game for <i>Computer Gaming World</i>, and stated that "Both humor and challenge are present here, two of the key elements of any good adventure (along with an excellent parser and outstanding presentation)."<sup id="cite_ref-CGW34_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CGW34-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>In the January–February 1987 edition of <i><a href="/wiki/.info_(magazine)" title=".info (magazine)">Info</a></i>, Benn Dunnington gave the Amiga version four-plus stars out of five, praising the "excellent graphics" and <a href="/wiki/Text_parser" title="Text parser">text parser</a>.

Adams was highly impressed by the game plot as well, saying, "The Pawn also delivers well-honed prose, vivid graphics, innovative visual effects, and dozens of puzzles - some diabolically difficult, others deceptively simple - in an imaginative story." He concluded with a strong recommendation: "Technically and creatively, this is England's all-time best adventure game.

The Lessers thought highly of the game, saying, "The Pawn is not only great for experienced adventurers, but because of the interactivity of the scenario’s characters, it also enables novice gamers to learn as they progress through the land of Kerovnia. This is certainly one offering that any computer-game library should contain."
