Reception New York Times reviewer William Peden reviewed the collection favorably, describing it as "a series of very competent stories depicting the effect of the supernatural on the lives of ordinary English people . . . combin[ing] time-proven narrative methods and meaningful, if frequently obvious, social commentary." Reviewing for a genre audience, P. Schuyler Miller praised the science fiction stories for their "quality of thrown-away understatement" but found the other pieces marked by "the old familiar themes of fantasy, smoothly and competently but not very originally handled."
