Regarding the series' title, Wolf commented that something from Pink Floyd's The Wall, in which "the narrator has issues with his domineering mother", would have been more fitting. Wolf concluded: "Blood on the Tracks has been thrilling reading so far, and it will be interesting to see where Oshimi takes the story".
