Like Walter Miller's "The Darfsteller,"
[Dancing on Air] follows the future of an artform through ethical quagmires.
- Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine

Every so often there comes a story which works the old magic that first drew me to the genre as a reader. Dancing on Air is one of those stories.
- James Patrick Kelly

From her novel An Alien Light to this novella, Dancing on Air, Nancy Kress has again and again made bizarre viewpoints utterly compelling. No matter how peculiar the future is that Kress imagines, her characters face it with human and humane feeling. She is a writer's writer.
- Tony Daniel

Nancy Kress is one of the best damn storytellers ever.
- Jack McDevitt
