The Irish Times literary critic Eileen Battersby called it a "magnificent" novel.[1] In 2012, Even the Dogs was awarded the International Dublin Literary Award, one of the world's richest literary prizes.[2][3][4][5]
The Daily Telegraph published a positive review by David Robson, who remarked that the "movingly told story is also an important book."[6]
