Gene Alloway reviewed In Hot Pursuit in White Wolf #26 (April/May, 1991), rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "This anthology has a good selection of adventures.
It is interesting to note that each adventure is placed somewhere along the 'timeline' of the comic that features a particular hero, which adds to the play, especially if one is familiar with the books.
"[2] In the August 1991 edition of Dragon (#172), Allen Varney called this anthology of solitaire adventures a fresh idea from Mayfair Games.
He noted that each adventure had a different tone, "from slam-bang, super-slugfest action (starring Superman) to light comedy (the Atom) to gritty gang warfare (the Huntress) to suspense and mistrust in a deserted villain base (Manhunter)".
He concluded: "These straightforward and effective miniscenarios can fill an evening or two on their own, or an hour while you're waiting for more players to show up".
