I Common Market Law Review, Issue 6, 2007 skriver anmelder Alexander Türk blandt andet: "What makes the book valuable is the thorough and even-handed examination of these regulatory instruments and processes. The contributions avoid the temptation to present their chosen instruments or process as the cure to the ills of traditional regulatory mechanisms and provide instead a well-balanced picture. […] The book will reward the reader who seeks information on alternative regulatory tools to traditional Community legislation and is keen to have it presented in a well-written and easily accessible manner.”
