The book was named "the best guide book ever" by Huffington Post critic Andrew Losowsky for its beauty, humanity and its "stunning [use of] letterpress-style typography of varying sizes and ... hand drawn maps to create moments of creativity and stillness." Losowsky stated "most importantly [For You The Traveller] is so beautifully idiosyncratic and personal that it suggests a chart of the overriding emotions of its cities" and that "there is no other book like it."
