On receiving the book, LG Saxena commented upon how the use of poetic style and pictures has made the subject more interesting, adding that the book should be available in every household to keep them informed of the law.

Gautam’s earlier writing includes the 2016 publication Samvidhan Kavya, a poet rendition of the Indian Constitution.
