The critical reception of I'm Feeling Lucky has been mostly positive, with the book receiving consistent praise for its treatment of life in the Googleplex.

"[1] Rich Jaroslovsky for "Bloomberg News" calls the book: "[A] highly entertaining new memoir...I’m Feeling Lucky is at its best, and most hilarious, in its account of the company’s earliest days.

"[2] At The Boston Globe, Jesse Singal's review reads: "Edwards does an excellent job of telling his story with a fun, outsider-insider voice.

"[4] Josh Dzieza for The Daily Beast writes: "It's an exciting story, and it shines light on the inner workings of the fledgling Google and on the personalities of its founders.

Edwards is uniquely suited to the task: his talents as a writer allow him to craft a compelling read, his insider’s view of the very early days give him a detailed knowledge from which to tell his story, but his total lack of cultural chemistry with the rest of the Googlers allows him to find mysterious all the crazy things which they all take for granted.
