[1] Her book Don't Need Friends (Doubleday, 1999) received a starred review from Publishers Weekly that said, "Crimi's tight, deft prose mines Dog and Rat's petulance for all its comedy and poignancy".
[2] In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews called There Might Be Lobsters (Candlewick, 2017) "just beachy," saying, "Sly inclusions of lobsters in the details, in particular, will provoke readers’ laughter as they cheer on Sukie and applaud Eleanor's pluck and patience".
