[7] Reuben Baron of Comic Book Resources felt that the stories in the collection "tend to showcase Urasawa's lighter, more humorous side."

[10] Comicon.com's James Ferguson was struck by the sheer variety of the stories included in Sneeze and noted that they all have a positive vibe to them, even when the plot takes a dark turn.

Ferguson cited either "Kaiju Kingdom" or "Tanshin Funin/Solo Mission" as his favorites, the latter for "putting an interesting twist on super heroes fighting alien creatures.

"[11] Publishers Weekly called the content of the collection diverse, but still described most of the fiction as dealing with monsters and the supernatural, while the nonfiction centers on Urasawa's love for folk rock idols.

They called "Kaiju Kingdom" a "nuanced allegory for how the West fetishizes Asian cultures," but accused "It's a Beautiful Day" and "the lecherous (if unintentionally)" "Musica Nostra" of paternalism despite the two being engaging and technically sound.

He wrote that Sneeze has a lot in it to appeal to many different fans, but called its structure "strange", saying, for example: "the child-friendly comedic short about two cartoon mice is followed by a period music-based story which features nudity".
