Mark Sanderson from the Evening Standard commended Connelly for skillfully intertwining two storylines into a "highly captivating thriller" that enriches the protagonist's depth, describing it as "among the finest works Connelly has produced." A critic at the Times of India observed that the narrative "begins at a leisurely pace" but accelerates with a "robust plot" containing unexpected twists and startling developments, ultimately labeling it "one of Connelly's best."

Jeff Ayers of the Associated Press characterized the novel as a "masterfully crafted and compelling tale from a genre expert," emphasizing how the integration of two engaging plots results in an immediate classic.
