In an early review of the book for Booklist, Donna Seaman predicted that "After the resounding triumph of Whitehead’s previous novel, readers will avidly await this intense drama, a scorching work that will generate tremendous media coverage." She's likely correct. An excerpt from the novel appeared in The New Yorker in March, and later, Whitehead appeared on the cover of Time magazine with the headline, "America's Storyteller."
Emily Temple predicts that "Despite the dark themes [of The Nickel Boys, I predict this will be the book on everyone’s bedside tables this summer."
