Critical reception
In his review of the collection in The Canberra Times critic Geoff Page noted that "Riddell is ahead of her time rather than of it, especially in her preference for breaking up the strict shape of a stanza and varying line length according to the demands of the poem. There is also in this first section a strong lyrical, even rhetorical, impulse which probably goes back to Yeats — a style which is rather out of fashion today and may well attract new readers who are tired of the relative plainness of language and tone which distinguishes much of the best Australian poetry at the moment."
