Greg Costikyan reviewed Michael and the Magic Man in Ares Magazine #3 and commented that "Sidney is a writer of considerable power; Michael and the Magic Man is as innovative as it is unusual."{{cite journal | last=Costikyan | first=Greg | author-link=Greg Costikyan | title=Books | journal=Ares Magazine | publisher=Simulations Publications, Inc. | date=July 1980 | issue=3 | page=36}}

Spider Robinson reviewed Michael and the Magic Man for Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, and commented that "Good characterization, good sense of mood – Kathy is still feeling for her novel-voice, but my only real objection is that the hero is rather ineffectual for my taste. He's not an actor, he's a reactor, for most of the book. Still, this is a cut above most first novels."{{cite journal|last=Robinson|first=Spider|author-link=Spider Robinson|date=August 1980|title=The Reference Library|journal=Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact|pages=172}}
