Floyd C. Gale of Galaxy Science Fiction rated the collection 4.5 stars out of five. He said "The trouble with Heinlein is that once he explores a situation, not much is left to be said. His prototypes are up-to-the-minute masterworks", citing "By His Bootstraps" and the temporal paradox genre as an example.[1]
Dave Pringle reviewed The Menace from Earth for Imagine magazine, and stated that "savour such short stories as 'The Year of the Jackpot', a manic end-of-the-world take, and 'By His Bootstraps', simply the best time-travel yarn since Wells. The early Heinlein was a Natural."[2]
