A review by Publishers Weekly said that the book "skimps on the science...focusing instead on the legal, political and emotional aspects of the tussle between big business...and environmentalists...Her account is relatively flat and superficial, doing a workmanlike job of covering political issues but leaving readers short of what they need to evaluate GM."
