Publishers Weekly wrote that Marzi "subtly invokes a comparison between the place of the children in society and that of the oppressed under authoritarian regimes."[3]

Dariusz Vanhonnaeker, in Slavica bruxellensia, wrote that the perspective of the character was "Perspicace et spontané" (perceptive and spontaneous).[4]
