Greg Costikyan reviewed Lifekeeper in Ares Magazine #5 and commented that "McQuay should have taken Brunner's advice to would-be writers: first write a novel; then throw it out; then write another novel. Your second might be readable."{{cite journal | last=Costikyan | first=Greg | authorlink=Greg Costikyan | title=Books | journal=Ares Magazine | publisher=Simulations Publications, Inc. | date=November 1980 | issue=5 | pages=10–11}}
