In Computer Gaming World, Bruce Geryk wrote that Squad Battles: Vietnam was "not the most original design, but it's one of the best of recent years".[1] William R. Trotter of PC Gamer US was strongly positive toward the game, which he considered "one of the best tactical games since Avalon Hill's Squad Leader boardgame".[4]

Computer Gaming World and Wargamer named Squad Battles: Vietnam the best computer wargame of 2001; the former publication dubbed it a "compelling" title that "shows that there's still some life in traditional wargaming systems".[5][2] The editors of Computer Games Magazine nominated the game in this category, but ultimately gave the prize to Panzer Campaigns: Bulge '44, another John Tiller title.[6]
