The collection includes contributions from Michael Denning, David Yaffe, Anthony DeCurtis, Alan Light, R. Clifton Spargo, novelist Jonathan Lethem and musician Carrie Brownstein.
Kieran Curran of PopMatters gave the book 5 stars out of 10, and stated: "it's an interesting read for the academically inclined budding Dylanologist [...], even if it is lacking in a pop musicology sense.
