Don MacPherson gives the book a 7 out of 10, and hopes the mystery isn't solved too quickly.

William Gatevackes calls Busiek and Guice "two underrated but highly skilled comic veterans" and the new direction in general a good move on DC's part.

And Ain't It Cool News, which has never been kind to Aquaman, has a very perceptive and open-minded review of the issue, including this thought: "So, what might lead to a claim of "confusion"? A superficial read of the comic will do that. I've read the issue three times. First time, superficially; second, slowly and thoroughly; third, for the art. First time I was a bit confused. Second, I was impressed by the complexity of the mystery. Third, I became a fan."
