Booklist Review: "Plumb tired after a heck of a workday, Willy's a-fixing to grill himself up some ribs when a flying saucer causes a ruckus by lowering over his desert shack. Cat's meowin', cow's a lowin'. / Dog's a-howlin', chicken's GLOWIN'! Out scampers a big mess of greenies three-eyed aliens drawn by that heavenly smell. We don't want your leader, Willy, / Just your barbecue and chili. Down the hatch go the ribs (the cowboy hat tastes pretty good with hot sauce, too), but while the greenies are stomping their boots along to Willy's fiddle, Willy sneaks aboard the ship and takes off across the galaxy a three-page foldout tracks his progress to enjoy sweet success as the owner of Willy's BBQ on an alien planet. Duval has a darned good time mixing up a stew of western and sci-fi tropes, while McCauley marshals his watercolors into earth tones for the desert and pastels for the UFO lights. Occasional wordless spreads let readers bask in the goofiness, and a recipe for Willy's Out of This World Barbecue Sauce concludes.--Kraus, Daniel Copyright 2010 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "At home on the range, underneath glorious Western skies, a farmer named Willy is whipping up a modest dinner on his barbecue grill. The delicious smells attract a flying saucer filled with little green men whose endless demands for food and entertainment turn Willy from fearful ("Yippee ki-yi! Yippee ki-yay!/ I think they might take me away!") to annoyed ("Those little fellas just won't stop;/ I keep on fiddlin' 'til they drop") in short order. Clever Willy steals the aliens' spaceship, takes it to a distant star (his route is mapped through a night sky gatefold that tips a cowboy hat to classic SF comic books), and opens up a hoedown-themed eatery that might just give Star Wars' Mos Eisley Cantina a run for its money. Although Duval's (The Three Bears' Halloween) rhyming is rather literal, it doesn't much matter. McCauley's (June and August) midcentury-inspired renderings and handsome vintage palette (his use of teal and deep red is particularly impressive) convey all the cheeky eeriness that this farmer vs. aliens story needs.
