According to a L'Oeil Web Reviewer, Pauline Auzou, the Google Volume One project creates the theme that there is longer a difference between an artwork, an instruction diagram, or a product sold online because they are all the same in the domain of Google Images.

Since the process of re-assimilating the appropriation of content on the web is widely considered a work of art in the 21st century, Google Volume One has been praised for its digital artwork.
