Reception
Computer Gaming World's Tim Carter said that "HARPOON II is an immensely technical treatment of a complicated subject. It therefore requires considerable effort in order to play, and for users not familiar with the system, will involve a lot of work. However, it remains a benchmark in term of its modeling of modern warfare". A year later Tim Carter also reviewed the Deluxe version and said "HARPOON II DELUXE MULTIMEDIA is an important, albeit mislabeled, addition to the HARPOON line. While the basic game system has not changed, and little is gained by the extra animation and sound, the new scenarios and the scenario editor should give HARPOON II a considerable lifespan on the hard drives of the converted. For those who did not like the original or HARPOON II, however, this package is unlikely to change your mind." AllGame's Lisa Karen Savignano said that "Once you get used to the controls, the game does bring such an air of realism to play that you may find yourself on the edge of your seat. At the very least, you will feel like you are actually in the navy as you play."
