The Jewish Book Council and the News Tribune also praised the book, with the News Tribune stating that it resonated with them "because it demonstrates that we are a product of our past, but we don’t have to be bound by it. Ultimately, it is up to us to understand we cannot change the past, but it is we who are in charge of our future." In contrast, Maclean's panned the work, stating that it was a "dull affair" and "brings new and unintended meaning to the banality of evil".
