The Chicago Review of Books
... may explore similar ground to its predecessors in the genre, but it inventively limits the mechanics of its time travel to the confines of a small cafe, and is all the more resonant for it. At times, Kawaguchi’s hand is a bit too prominent, but despite the occasional clumsiness, the narrative is deeply moving.

The Christian Science Monitor
... a quirky, sigh-inducingly satisfying read.

... evocative.
