The first two pre-publication reviews are in, with Publisher's Weekly calling Harry, Revised "a self-assured, comic and satisfying story," and Kirkus Reviews saying "The book is fast-paced; there are nice comic touches; and Harry
is, finally, rather compelling, selfish and damaged but recognizably
human."
