Ion Newcombe, reviewing the novel for Antipodean SF noted: "Dark Space is well-paced, precisely written (although I did wince at a couple of dangling participles), and I'm now hanging out to read the next two books."
In The Sunday Age Lucy Sussex found that "De Pierres does good, strong heroines, and also action sequences. Add a mining planet that reads like Pilbara gone feral, and disgusting invading aliens, and we have here the first in a series of novels. It mingles science with Machiavellian intrigue, vivid scene-setting with child care."
