The writing style of the book is described as "cruising" its subject matter, moving quickly between a wide range of topics.[1]

The book was widely praised by scholars and influential in beginning new conversations in queer theory.[2] In non-academic venues, the Gay Times and Publishers Weekly praised the book's optimism about queer liberation and its insights into pop culture, while noting that the scholarly prose might put off casual readers.[3][4] A "tenth anniversary edition" was published in 2019.[2] In 2020 and 2021, Spanish and French translations were published.[5][6]

Muñoz cruises art objects (which include a dizzying array of poetry, prose, autobiography, painting, photography, and performance) with the same urgency and rapacious appetite as he cruises theory, lingering for no more than a moment on any one person, place, or thing.
