Marcia Reed, who chairs the Exhibition Awards committee of the Association of College and Research Libraries Rare Books and Manuscripts Section, said:

{{Quote|text=Addressing the world of books and readers energetically and with humor, Tetenbaum transcends her own production and concludes with a stirring contemporary manifesto: "To create books out of passion, to give selfwill a form and thus to stimulate the reader's and observer's every sense, this is where we share common ground."|author=Marcia Reed{{Cite journal|last=Griffen|first=Megan|date=May 2007|title=ACRL announces RBMS Leab Exhibition award winners|url=http://crln.acrl.org/index.php/crlnews/article/download/7801/7801|journal=C&RL News|page=303}}|title=|source=}}

Karla Starr wrote in Willamette Week, "Her masterful, varied interpretations of the book have been featured in exhibitions worldwide... Her unusual, enchanting graphic juxtapositions range from surreal to nostalgic, demonstrating command and interest in exploiting all elements involved in book design."{{Cite web|last=Starr|first=Karla|date=November 29, 2005|title=The Artful Word|url=https://www.wweek.com/portland/article-5084-the-artful-word.html|access-date=2020-09-06|website=Willamette Week|language=en-US}}
