Reception
John ONeill, reviewing the book in 2018 on blackgate.com, writes it "has reminded me just how outstanding the Nebula anthologies were, and are, year after year. This one, for example, includes the three 1978 Nebula short fiction award winners, plus a 30-page excerpt from the winning novel ... [b]ut it also includes some superb nominees, as selected by Pohl, including C. J. Cherryh’s Hugo Award-winning short story 'Cassandra,' and Gene Wolfe’s massive 60-page novella 'Seven American Nights.' I imagine Pohl got a lot of grief for cramming two long novellas into a slender paperback, displacing a lot of award-nominated short fiction in the process, but the years have proven the astuteness of his choice. 'Seven American Nights' is one of the most acclaimed stories of the 70s, still discussed and enjoyed today, whereas the winner in the novella category, Varley’s 'The Persistence of Vision,' is considered by many to be overrated (including by me.)" [2]
The anthology was also reviewed by Pascal Thomas (1982) in Paperback Inferno v. 6, no. 2, October 1982. [1]
