Critical reception has been positive.^[1] The Journal of Popular Culture gave an overall favorable review for Talbot Mundy, Philosopher of Adventure, writing "I would assume the book's audience to be somewhat limited but justifiably enthusiastic: relevant academics and their libraries; fans of genre or series fiction; those interested in theosophy or Eastern literature; and bibliophiles."^[2] Extrapolation also reviewed the work, stating that they thought "the strongest part of the biography when Taves is best, perhaps a result of his work as a media archivist, is the section that treats the Jack Armstrong radio scripts and the last of the "multiple lives" led by Mundy in the years just before Pearl Harbor."^[3]
