Critical reception
The New York Times, "There are many good stories in 'And So It Goes.'[1] The book was also praised for being "witty and irreverent."[1]
Los Angeles Times, "Linda Ellerbee came to Hollywood this week to promote her first book, “And So It Goes,” a sardonic, light-hearted account of her years in TV news."[3]
Kirkus Reviews, "Ellerbee's career has shown that TV news can be fun without being vapid; these behind-the-scenes anecdotes show that what didn't make it on the air was even funnier."[4]
