Reviews of the 1977 edition:
"Constantly entertaining.... Kleps' sardonic views on what he calls the 'kid culture' and the West Coast scene may be surprising.... stands as the definitive account of Millbrook." - Lester Grinspoon and James Bakalar, Psychedelic Drugs Reconsidered
"Hilariously funny and altogether different from the sort of myopic puffery so long favored by the Leary cult.... well paced, intellectually stimulating and delightfully irreverent." - Berkeley Barb
"A lighthearted philosophical treatise" - Los Angeles Times
"Typically American and could be about the inner power struggles within any large corporation. That everyone in the boardroom was dropping acid and tinkering with the American consciousness just adds immeasurable interest to the accounts.... Kleps' insights into and descriptions of the acid experience are excellent." - High Times
