If that spirit of destruction cannot stop him by magic, or war and devastation, then it will try to crush the young Maker by simpler means - more human means.

Jim Creighton of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reviewing the book along with another Zebrowsky-edited anthology, Paper Synergy no. 2, wrote "The annual collections of Nebula Award winners ... are always great, and this year's edition is made even more notable by the presence of Lucius Shepard's brilliant novella 'R & R.'" He also cited the Bear and Wilhelm pieces as "highly deserving prize winners." The pieces by current Grand Master Asimov (described as "wry") and Card were singled out for particular mention as well, though Creighton laments the omission of "[m]y own favorite novelette [of Card's], "Hatrack River."
