"Most of the Earth's population has been whisked away by mysterious aliens, leaving a few Amerindians, a colony of robots and an elderly philosophical hero who muses on the significance of it all. A fundamentally silly plot gains dignity from its lucid style and humane sentiments." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 65. 1973 Hugo nominee.
