- Kirkus skrev "Barnes puts aside her Carlotta Carlyle series (Lie Down With the Devil, 2008, etc.) for an eerie, suspenseful stand-alone that focuses more on the characters and their dark pasts than on a clever mystery."
- Publishers Weekly skrev "Although the mystery is slow to build, Barnes delivers a captivating story of love, rivalry, and revenge."
