According to Jill Murphy, a reviewer of the website "The Bookbag", What is Your Dangerous Idea? provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the topics covered in this book. She expands by writing that the ideas make the reader think about them.

The book has also been likened to "Shakespearean science"[2] by one reviewer, due to the expression of ideas formerly written by English playwright William Shakespeare, except with concrete evidence.


Another reviewer summarized the various ideas, concluding that science's progress may make us realize our limits.
