Reviewing the book for The Guardian, John Mullan, senior lecturer in English at University College London was positive about the collection, describing the connected stories as using "a technique of passing, sometimes accidental, connection, reminiscent of a Robert Altman film". Mullan adds, "The desolation is elegantly credible."
