Kirkus Reviews, which gave Wonder Walkers a starred review, commented on the writing by Archer, calling the questions asked by the characters in the book "spare and economic yet profound and beautifully poetic."[1] Writing about the illustrations, they noted the mix of ink and collage "are lush and vivid, perfectly suiting the text."[1] Writing for The Horn Book, Julie Danielson commented on the "vibrant colors, beguiling textures, and boundless energy" from the art, and concluded by calling it "[b]eautifully rendered — and wonderful in every way."[2] Publishers Weekly's starred review praised Archer's illustrations and techniques.[3]
Wonder Walkers was the recipient of a Caldecott Honor in 2022.[4]
