In Issue 18 of Australian Realms , Malcolm Adler called this "a fantastic compilation of essays."

Swan was impressed by the level of detail, calling it "meticulous, mind-boggling detail, the kind you expect from Ph.D. candidates working on their dissertations." Swan's only complaint was that all eight of the races should have been gathered into one large book rather than two volumes. [4]
