Reception
Christian Grange of ActuaBD described the book as absurd, thought-provoking, complex in its handling of feelings and "just incredible" in its graphic treatment.[3] Benjamin Roure of BoDoï called it an "original and elusive" debut album and stressed its playful use of techniques from theatre, silent cinema and the world of animation where Rigol has his background.[5]
