[7] Jo Walton has described it as "brilliant but weird", and "terrific",[8] while Steven H Silver has called it "interesting" and "intriguing", and commended Morrow's skill as a religious satirist, but criticized him for the quality of his satires of non-religious topics, saying that "[w]hen he turns his attention to satirizing other aspects of society, [Morrow] tends to fling his darts at random.
"[9] The Chicago Tribune praised Morrow for his "light-handed sense of satire", and said that "(Towing Jehovah's) title alone is enough to send your imagination racing off into the cosmos.
