Reception

Tom Easton in Analog Science Fiction and Fact characterizes the collection as "nineteen very entertaining fantasies," of which "[s]ome are dark, some are jolly, [and] all are deft and often witty." He singles out the Tom O'Bedlam story "The Last Dangerous Lunacy," which he "quite enjoyed," for particular comment. Concluding, he states "It is the wit that makes Schweitzer's work stand out. I commend it to you."[2]

The collection was also reviewed by Carolyn Cushman in Locus no. 460, May 1999, Chris Gilmore in Interzone no. 151, January 2000, Paul Di Filippo in Asimov's Science Fiction, February 2000, and Kathryn S. Morrow in The New York Review of Science Fiction, January 2001.[1]
