The Jewish Book Council said that "The Joe Shuster Story is a tale of unbridled aspiration in a world beset with the cruelties of reality". Publishers Weekly said that the book's art "lends warmth and beauty to this elegy to two kids chewed up by a system that sees dollar signs and goes in for the kill." The Comics Journal called it a "meticulously researched graphic biography" that is "smartly visualized in understated, softly painted Edward Hopper-esque images."
