Reception
Ask the Passengers was generally well-received, including starred reviews from Booklist, The Horn Book, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, and Shelf Awareness.

Kirkus Reviews called Ask the Passengers "[q]uite possibly the best teen novel featuring a girl questioning her sexuality written in years." Publishers Weekly said the book was "[f]unny, provocative, and intelligent," noting that it "celebrates love in all of its messy, modern complexity."

On behalf of The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Deborah Stevenson wrote, "For kids struggling with their own truths, it can be hard to believe how much light there is once you come out of the cave. This is a book that knows and understands that, and it's one that readers will believe."

The book was removed from public school libraries in Martin County, Florida.
