In his New York Times review Mel Gussow wrote, "In Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, Jason Taverner, a celebrated television and singing star, wakes up one morning to discover that his identity has been obliterated. Nobody knows his fame and all computer data on him have been purged...Taverner has been magically transported to a parallel world, a favorite device of the late science-fiction author."
