Reception

In the March 1984 edition of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Algis Budrys praised the collection, saying "The whole thing is a delight and I commend it to you almost unreservedly."[1]

In Issue 30 of Abyss (Summer 1984), Dave Nalle commented, "The stories are all quite humorous, reminiscent of Keith Laumer's Retief stories in style, though of somewhat more limited scope." Nalle especially liked the short stores "Joy in Mudville" and "The Napoleon Crime", but noted "All of the stories are well written and fun to read." Nalle concluded, "These are not groundbreaking or uplifting stories, but they are fun and constantly diverting, and original in their content and humor. I can definitely recommend Hoka to those who like light science fiction."[2]
