Reviews
According to Oregon Live, Your Wildest Dreams "is festooned with rave quotes from friends and colleagues such as David Sedaris and Mike Sweeney, but it reads unevenly."[3] The A.V. Club, However, states "The fun in Your Wildest Dreams is watching Sacks unpack his weirdness, and there’s plenty of weirdness to unpack."[8]
