In the review written by John Bradley for the new issue of Rain Taxi, Bradley highlights Nielsen's prose and how the poems in House Inspections take us into a dream world where everyday objects take on a new meaning. Bradley emphasizes how Nielsen's tone is objective and leaves the reader in a state of awe. Bradley says, "The prose poem's affinity for the surreal, however, should be celebrated, as should Nielsen's skill at plumbing the strangeness of the human psyche. House Inspections offers tantalizing mysteries for a world all too often gnawing on its own cynicism."
