- Peter Guttridge writing in The Observer concludes "Wilson has a pleasurably flexible, easy-going narrative style. Eureka Street is very funny but that isn't all. At the start of it, Jake is 'thrillingly ecumenical', and this novel is ecumenical, too ecumenical with the truths the competing political parties offer and satirically cynical of them all."[2]
- Sarah Ferguson in The New York Times writes "this long-winded, rambling tale, though well written in places, is sadly off the mark. An ill-advised mishmash of halfhearted jokes, trite sentimentality, absurd plot twists and what passes for earnest political rhetoric, Eureka Street lurches along uncertainly through a series of random misadventures as it traces six months in the lives of a group of loutish working-class 30-somethings".[3]
