The New York Times praises the book for its surreal alligator action and clever wordplay perfect for new readers. The Scotsman highlights the bright illustrations and fun twists keeping young readers engaged, while Publisher's Weekly notes the fast-paced slapstick gags appealing to fans of dorky jokes. InvestiGators has been compared to favourites like Dog Man and Captain Underpants by School Library Journal, and Kirkus calls it a sweet, silly, and inventive graphic novel full of fizz and pep.
