Barbara Hoffert write for Library Journal: "Matejka’s Mixology (2013) was a National Poetry Series winner, while The Big Smoke (2014) claimed the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. All of which suggests that this revisioning of race and geography, poverty and fierce, exalted escape in Reagan’s America is a book to read." See the review.
