Reception

Also writing for The New York Times, Dwight Garner remarks "Vásquez is an estimable writer. His prose ... is literate and dignified."  He said that parts the book "quickens beautifully and sweeps us aloft" but at other times it is "remote, portentous, burped shut".  He blamed translation for some awkward metaphors and said Vásquez is a talented writer but "sometimes seems more interested in poetic generalities than in squirming people."

El ruido de las cosas al caer won the 2011 Alfaguara Prize.

In 2014, the English translation of The Sound of Things Falling won the International Dublin Literary Award, at €100,000 one of the world's richest literary awards.

The judging panel called the novel a "consummate literary thriller" with "a masterly command of layered time periods, spiraling mysteries and a noir palette". Vásquez won 75% of the €100,000 prize, with the other 25% going to McLean. Vásquez said he would use to prize to keep reading and writing books. He is the first South American to win the prize, and The Sound of Things Falling is the second novel after A Heart So White originally written in Spanish to win it.
