Reception & Legacy
Groff Conklin called Someone Like You "certainly the most distinguished book of short stories of 1953 ... all superb". Anthony Boucher and J. Francis McComas praised the collection's "subtly devastating murder stories [as well as] two biting science-fantasties, plus a few unclassifiable gems" and concluded the volume "belong[ed] on your shelves somewhere in the Beerbohm/Collier/Saki section". Van Morrison's song Someone Like You is named after this collection. Two of the stories in this collection were adapted by Wes Anderson as short films for Netflix.
