Critics praise MONKEY for its lively, imaginative, and deeply moving writing. Roland Kelts of Nikkei Asia describes it as "more fun than anything called literature has a right to be," while Junot Diaz calls it "an astonishment, by turns playful and profound." Laird Hunt highlights its range as "deep, funny, wild, scary, fabulous, moving, surprising, brilliant work," and Eric Margolis notes it offers "varied, sumptuous flavours" of Japanese literature in translation.
