Reception
Boucher and McComas praised the title story for its "fine swashbuckling and much ingenious speculation", but found the other stories far inferior. Aldiss and Wingrove, comparing The Legion of Time to a fairy tale, declared that "its plot, while being philosophically meaningless, is a delight." In 2014, the novel was nominated for a Retro-Hugo Award.
