The Fabric of the Cosmos is described as "a magnificent challenge to conventional ideas" by the Financial Times.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It manages to be both challenging and entertaining: it is highly recommended," adds The Independent.

According to the New York Times, Greene "send(s) the reader's imagination hurtling through the universe on an astonishing ride. As a popularizer of exquisitely abstract science, he is both a skilled and kindly explicator."

The Los Angeles Times Book Review notes, "Greene is as elegant as ever, cutting through the fog of complexity with insight and clarity; space and time become putty in his hands."
