Sunday Times praised the book, highlighting how ShaoLan's method quickly surpassed traditional learning approaches: 'May revolutionize the teaching of Chinese around the world … In twenty-five minutes ShaoLan’s method had done more for me than had two weeks of headaches clutching Collins’s Easy Learning Chinese Characters'. Timeless Travel called it 'the perfect pocket-sized companion to help you break down the barriers of language and culture.'
