This Number Does Not Exist received another spectacular review, this time drawing attention to author Mangalesh Dabral's ability to "fulfill the role of a poet as an observer who allows us to see the world through a new set of eyes. He takes ordinary moments or mundane objects and makes them shine in a way they've never been shown before."

Reviewer Stephen Alter of The Hindu--one of India's most prestigious newspapers--pays special attention to the themes in Dabral's poems, noting their variety. According to Alter, the "persistent sense of alienation and nostalgia for home is a constant theme in Dabral's poetry, but he also expresses an acceptance of urban life with all its challenges, conflicts, and rewards." Dabral combines a "nuanced voice of protest," with "the rational sensibility of a humanist" creating a series of poems that are able to be interpreted by all audiences.

The review concludes by stating that "This new [collection] is carefully edited and beautifully produced. The selection of verses will please admirers of Dabral's work while attracting and inspiring new readers. . . . Both in the original Hindi and in the English renditions, Mangalesh Dabral's voice remains true and honest, an eloquent cry from the mountains that echoes in the city."
