''The Beholder'' was awarded "Best Games Fanzine" at theReviews
In the June 1981 edition of '' Dragon'' (Issue #50), David Nalle found that "The quality of thought in ''The Beholder'' is surprisingly even. Articles tend to be very average. There are few real losers, and likewise few examples of brilliance." Nalle found the weakest articles to be about monsters, but the 'zine was "strong in articles on campaign expansion, and in the small scenarios of a page or two in length which appear in each issue." Nalle concluded that ''The Beholder'' lacked the ability to grab the reader's attention, saying it "does not catch the eye and imagination and shout for instant incorporation in the reader’s next dungeon."References
