Released in March 2022, the publication received positive press coverage, including features in the New York Post, WWD, Avenue Magazine, Park Magazine, Grazia, Radar, OK, and New York Lifestyles, among other media. New York Post book editor Mackenzie Dawson opinioned, "Veteran publicist throws shade at Gen Z staff in hilarious snarky book."

A 2014 marketing campaign for the magazine featuring British violinist Charlie Siem received critical praise by Adweek, WWD, The Daily, The Insider, CBS Local, and other media platforms.
