Critical reception
Writing in The Canberra Times Peter Lugg commented: "This collection will counter the view held by some critics that Murray writes best about the bush. In these new poems. Murray moves deftly from bush to suburb, from the city (often Sydney) to a world of ideas...The poetry is elegant, with a sinewy philosphy strengthening it."
