Beside the Greenaway Medal, Mr Gumpy's Outing won the 1972 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Picture Book (U.S.) and some honor from the Biennial of Illustration Bratislava. It also made several annual booklists. Holt, Rinehart and Winston published a U.S. edition in October 1971 (32pp, ISBN 080503854X). According to Kirkus Reviews, "Burningham's sketchy yellow lines make the sun shine on his pages, and his animals — sometimes jaunty, more often appealingly hesitant — are his alone, unostentatiously distinctive. Mr. Gumpy has the bumbling charm of an English Mr Hulot and his outing is an unqualified pleasure." (en)
