New York Times reviewer Raymond Sokolov called the book “an oddly unsettling satire of American machismo”. Kirkus Reviews said “it might be the unlikeliest book you ever thought to like”, with its bizarre plot and “hugely funny scenes”, and concluded that “Mr. Sayles is a writer with more talent in the knuckle of his little finger than we’ve met in many a long season–full of spit and humor and affection.”
