“Inventive work by some of comics' most distinguished artists makes these tributes a triumph.” – Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW
"It’s kid-friendly but sophisticated, so adults can enjoy it too, and it’s a wallet-friendly alternative to the big book.” - Comic Book Resources
"Each comic is reproduced in beautiful full color—some with bright, modern palettes; others with muted, antique hues. Though this homage is intended for a youth audience, plenty here will appeal to adults, particularly those familiar with McKay’s work." - Booklist
"McCay as seen through the eyes of other artists is a visual treat." - ICv2, rating 5 Stars out of 5
The original broadsheet-sized edition, Little Nemo Dream Another Dream won Eisner Awards for Best Anthology and Best Publication Design.

"There are a number of incredibly clever and funny strips in this book that [are] especially effective in the hands of artists who are formalists and/or stylists." - Rob Clough for High-Low
