Kirkus Reviews called the book "A mighty portrait of poverty amid cruelty and optimism."[6] Publishers Weekly applauded how Ogle "captures the experience of chronic poverty in the United States."[4] They continued, stating that while "Ogle doesn’t shy away from the circumstances ... there is no shortage of humor, human kindness, and kid hijinks."[4]
