Publishers Weekly in their review said that "Rucker cleverly pulls off a romantic comedy about mathematicians in love" and that "While most of the mathematical flights may stun hapless mathophobes, Rucker's wild characters, off-the-wall situations and wicked political riffs prove that writing SF spoofs, like Bela's rock music avocation, "beats the hell out of publishing a math paper."
Publishers Weekly commended Rucker's ability to merge mathematical concepts with humor in a romantic comedy about mathematicians, highlighting the benefits of combining intellectual pursuits with entertainment value.
