Reception

P. Schuyler Miller found the volume to be "no exception to the excellence of previous years."[1] Groff Conklin said that "It is certainly not the 'best' of the 1953 output by a long shot, but it does contain some of the year's best", with Fritz Leiber's introduction "by far the best part".[2]
