On The Book Review, John Williams discussed picking up the memoir, noting that it is widely known among readers as a definitive book on divorce.

Heidi Jivitz joined the discussion on the same podcast to note that the book focuses on the author's divorce from her husband. Furthermore, Pamela Paul referenced the memoir in a separate segment on the same show, observing that Cusk is primarily known to readers in the United States as a memoirist specifically because of Aftermath and her broader literary life's work.
