Reception Galaxy reviewer Groff Conklin praised the novel as "a fast-paced, sardonic job that is primarily a satire on the future of mass communications." Anthony Boucher similarly praised the novel's satirical elements, although he found that "a slight lack of genuine bite and emotion" kept the novel "from being a front-ranker.""Recommended Reading," F&SF, February 1955, pp.97. P. Schuyler Miller reported that "It's no classic, but it's good reading."Miller, P. Schuyler. "The Reference Library," Astounding Science-Fiction, August 1955, pp.150-51.
