In a recent issue of the Literary Magazine Review, Spinning Jenny was reviewed by Alan Catlin, who said, "I like my magazines HOT and Spinning Jenny is the HOTTEST magazine I've read in quite some time. There is nothing about this truly unique journal that is vaguely normal or staid; each issue presents a challenge with the most basic of clues, hints to work with. It is our task as readers to rise to the occasion. Spinning Jenny, I accept the challenge. The check is in the mail."
