Gideon Kibblewhite reviewed "Celestial Dogs" for "Arcane" magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall. Kibblewhite comments that "The trick the book tries to pull off is the marrying of pulp fiction with the supernatural. Unfortunately, however readable, it doesn't quite work. You are left at the finish with the feeling that it's just another  detective story after all - no matter how many demons are involved." "Kirkus Reviews" states "Newcomer Russell asks you to accept an awful lot of dumb luck and demonic samurai for the dubious satisfactions he provides." "Publishers Weekly" stated: "Crudely written and lacking credibility, this brutal tale gives a view of Hollywood that is simpleminded, wrong-headed and dated all at once."
