Reviews of the book have generally positive, with praise from sites like Goodreads and Amazon. Critics have not been universally positive, although Rachel Hyland of Geek Speak Magazine wrote, "Graceffa knows a lot about YA dystopian conventions, and they are all present and accounted for here. This is by no means a bad thing - an enjoyable romp through this genre doesn’t necessarily require too much divergence (no pun intended) from the established norms - but it is worth noting that most everything in his Eden has pretty much happened before, in one way or another. Still, it is fun to see just how those ever-trusty elements are put together, and there is a nice twist on the almost essential love triangle that is actually pretty awesome."[6]
