Reception
P. Schuyler Miller, reviewing the anthology for Analog , took a clinical approach, discussing the founding of the sponsoring organization, its institution of the Nebula Awards and the first awards themselves before proceeding to the book (already projected as the "first in a series of annual anthologies") and its contents. Without evaluating the book as a whole, he reviews the pieces included separately by the categories in which they were nominated, making note of those that first appeared in Analog. Of the co-winning novellas, he calls the Aldiss story "something of a stunt," but feels Zelazny's "He Who Shapes" "has a good deal more meat in it," approving its treatment of character. He finds the same author's winning novelette, "The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth" "a forceful story." In the category of best short story he prefers Schmitz's, which "has his unique flavor" to Ellison's winning piece, while stating "I can't complain, since I didn't vote." Of the remaining runners-up, he characterizes Niven's as "a scientific problem story," Dickson's as a "black comedy" and Ballard's as "one of his strangest stories." [2]
The book was also reviewed by Judith Merril in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction v. 32, no. 1, January 1967, Tony Sudbery in Vector 45, July 1967, and (retrospectively) by Jonathan Strahan in Locus #486, July 2001, Don D'Ammassa in Science Fiction Chronicle #214, July 2001, and Paul Levinson in The New York Review of Science Fiction no. 165, May 2002.
