James E. Alexander of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette remarked, "In these short stories ... the author stretches the surreal limits of the imagination into worlds enchanted and bizarre, beautiful and insane. Yet the reader isn't put off by this, rather he rides along, knowing the roller coaster is going to fling him down and up, tingling his risibilities one moment, churning his stomach the next."
A critic from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette noted that the author's use of surrealism creates a sense of uncertainty, where readers are drawn into worlds that are both captivating and unsettling, much like the experience of riding a rollercoaster.
