Reception
Kirkus Reviews assessed the anthology as having "some good things" that "don't add up to a balance of approaches and themes." Judgment of individual pieces was mixed; of the non-fiction, Nicholl's survey of the year was called "nice but slapdash, and McIntyre's essay on the state of the art "shallow ruminations." In regard to the fiction, the reviewer characterized Plauger's piece as "a wry and dry turn," Ellison's as worked out with "negligent finesse," Zelazny's as having a "promising" start but ending "with something of a sugary thud," Leiber's as an "ironic ... exercise," Strete's as a "deft little fable," and Reamy's as a "sad, charming story."

P. J. Stevens in Australian SF News writes "I shouldn't have to sell you on this volume, you should be up and running to the nearest bookstore to buy a copy of this collection of the best sf for 1975." [3]
