Critical reception

Andrew Leslie, writing in The Guardian, noted: "There is nothing tortuous or particularly subtle about A Flight of Chariots..By the end mr Cleary has succeeded in his object of showing that a recognisable human being is up there in orbit. No especially new insights of thought or feeling have been opened up; but the familiar view has been professionally rendered."[3]
