Overall, the collection is praised for its creepiness and engaging storytelling, with anticipation for further exploration of the characters and world in future works.

    • “Harrowing, exhilarating, and best of all, unrelenting, each story puts you right into the center of the action with the helpless, hopeless protagonist, and you get to experience every terrifying moment with them.”
    • “Beardsell knows his craft and the result is a tight, well-written story that knows how to use the claustrophobia that humanity will experience in their tin cans that shelter them from the dangers of outer space.”
    • “Dead Station: Dogfight is a classic military science fiction story against an unknown being in deep space.”
    • “However, it feels like a story outline.”

    • “I was left wishing the stories were more in-depth, but that's okay; they are short stories for a reason, and that is understandable.”
