Damon Knight, noted science fiction critic and one-time editor of Popular Publications, wrote the following about Gault's sports fiction: I liked the characterization in those stories; I liked the description; I liked the fist fights; I liked the love interest. I like everything about them, except what they were all about. He won the Edgar Award for his first crime fiction novel, Don't Cry for Me (1952).
