Moskowitz called it 'a superb effort,' while Warner considers it 'one of the most ambitious fanzines in history.' With his expertise as a journalist, Gillings was able to produce a highly readable magazine useful both to those inside and outside SF. Apart from news and reviews presented in professional newspaper style, the magazine also contained interviews, photographs and critical articles. It is an essential reference aid for the serious researcher." - Tymn and Ashley (eds), Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, p. 841.
