The New York Times called Trump Sky Alpha "a funny book and a sad one, a bright one and a dark one, a distant sci-fi dystopia and a ripped-from-the-headlines tragedy. . . The book acts both as a novel and as a searching, tortured position paper on the use of media, message and, especially, satire in our time.”[4] The Los Angeles Times called Doten "one of our keenest and most inventive prose writers working today.”[5]
Granta named Doten one of the best young American novelists in 2017.[6]
