Reception Greg Costikyan reviewed Esbae: A Winter's Tale in Ares Magazine #13 and commented that "The premise of the novel may sound silly, but Haldeman handles it well. Esbae is permeated with a vision of college life that seems like something from a better, bygone era: professors puffing contentedly on pipes, enthusiastic student choirs, red-cheeked students frolicking in the snow."
