• On Tor.com’s Short Fiction Spotlight, Brit Mandelo reviewed Clockwork Phoenix 4 with this comment about “The History of Soul 2065”: “…it benefits greatly from that straight-forwardness, because it still works to really hit home on the emotional level by the end. These are characters who feel real; their lives are short or long and always complicated, interwoven as they are.”

• Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam reviewed Clockwork Phoenix 4 in Short Story Review; of  “The History of Soul 2065” she writes: “It’s interesting to hear the complete lives of so many characters, and the moment of realization that the story is not as simple as it first appears is a shock.”

The story is a compelling and original triumph.”
