Josephine Fortune of Mania felt the stories were scary and liked that the stories covered a broad range of topics. However, Fortune also noted that the art was not on par with other Ito works.[4] A columnist for Manga News felt the collection was nice to read, though they also felt some of Ito's other works were better.[5] In Manga: The Complete Guide, Jason Thompson wrote that "[Ito's] storytelling is clear and his faces and figures are realistic".[1]
