Critical reception
A reviewer in The Age, in a survey of the poet's work to that time, was impressed by the collection finding that it "contains the beautiful, evocative poems which, I think, place the idea of the creation of a child back on the plane of understanding that brought the Madonna image into being, and also such hauntingly lovely things as Dream; and in this book; too is the strong consciousness of being 'the maker' — the lyric songs of, the creator."
