Publishers Weekly wrote that "the flabby, juvenile prose leaves much to be desired" but that readers who made it through would be surprised by the "perfectly twisted ending".^[4]

Kirkus Reviews called the characters "interesting" and said that Lira is an "edgy, energetic storyteller" who had put a fresh spin on the commercial espionage thriller genre.^[5]

In The Washington Post, Patrick Anderson praised the "dynamite opening scene" and said the novel is "lively and fun to read" up until the "downer of an ending".^[2]

In a starred review in Booklist, David Pitt called the prose style "thrilling" and the book "an absolute stunner", despite the plot being "a tad by-the-numbers".^[6]
