Kliatt called Anne Frank and Me a "powerful and affecting story" which "makes the deprivations and degradation of the Nazi occupation come alive." Publishers Weekly was not impressed, calling the novel "long on gimmickry and short on history." The reviewer pointed to "flimsy" writing and felt the time travel was "inconsistent and incompletely developed." Similarly, Kirkus Reviews accused the story of "pounding the reader over the head with the message" using "trite and forced" dialogue. Both periodicals compared it unfavorably with The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen.
