Gary Curtis of
The Hamilton Spectator wrote that Robinson "delivers a taut, tense crime story", praising the "powerful" cast which "propels this good cracking yarn from start to finish". John North of the
Times Colonist called the novel a "rich and rewarding tale, rife with pop music trivia of the '60s, that shows Robinson at the top of his writing form as he delivers both forensic and social justice in the framework of an entertainment and diverting novel." Paul Marck of the
Edmonton Journal opined that Robinson "has the skill to make two parallel mysteries wind together nicely in a single volume" and that it "works superbly." ==References==
