Reception
New York Times reviewer Basil Davenport noted that while "Sturgeon's poetic sensitivity sometimes leads him to overwriting, . . . at his best it gives his work an emotional depth which is all too rare in this field."[1] Boucher and McComas gave the collection a lukewarm review, describing it as "a hodgepodge" mixing "Grade A Sturgeon stories" with "a good many one can see no particular reason for collecting"; they still concluded that Unicorn was "a book belonging in any fantasy library." [2] P. Schuyler Miller praised the collection as "one of the finest short story collections by any writer in the field."[3]
