The Field Guide to the North American Teenager was well-received by critics, including starred reviews from School Library Journal,[1] who called the novel "a witty debut with whip-smart dialogue."[1]
Publishers Weekly wrote, "Philippe has a gift for dialogue and touches on a few instances of racism with sensitivity and humor in this crowd-pleaser."[2]
Canadian Review of Materials noted, "Philippe takes his readers on an interesting and inspiring journey" that is also "entertaining and amusing."[3]
Kirkus Reviews wrote, "Despite some missteps, this will appeal to readers who enjoy a fresh and realistic teen voice."[4]
Shelf Awareness highlighted how "Philippe manages to make Norris [the main character] a humorous, sympathetic protagonist," despite the fact that he "should be wholly unlikable."[5] They further discussed Phillipe's other fully-developed characters: "no one is only vapid, only smart, only mean, or only an athlete."[5]
