The [[Journal of the American Mathematical Society]] says, "It is not for everyone, but I guarantee that there is much insight, wisdom, and fun in these pages to amply reward those who will put in the individually required effort (possibly to fill in some blanks or stomach the style, depending on your knowledge and taste)."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Wigderson|first=Avi|date=|title=Quantum Computing Since Democritus Book Review|url=http://www.ams.org/notices/201410/rnoti-p1218.pdf|journal=Journal of the American Mathematical Society|volume=61, Number 10|pages=1218-1220|via=}}</ref>
Other reviews were not as positive - [[Stephen Wolfram]] said about the book, "I think Scott Aaronson has delusions of grandeur [...] Mr. Aaronson thinks he can write a really fat book about everything under the sun and that everyone is going to rush to read every word of it."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://qbnets.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/stephen-wolfram-reviews-quantum-computing-since-democritus/|title=Stephen Wolfram Reviews “Quantum Computing Since Democritus”|date=2013-04-13|website=Quantum Bayesian Networks|access-date=2017-09-09}}</ref> [[Luboš Motl|Luboṥ Motl]] said about the book on his blog, in a review that gave it a so-so rating, "At the end, the scientific claims on quantum mechanics in the book (so far) are bad but they aren't that bad. He wants the information to become the central player. It's just fine with me."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://motls.blogspot.com/2013/04/scott-aaronson-prototype-of-some.html|title=Scott Aaronson: a prototype of some confusion of IT scientists about physics|website=The Reference Frame|access-date=2017-09-10}}</ref>
