A number of Stanley's contemporaries have praised the book. Elton John said, "both honest and inspirational" with "amazing tales from one of rock's great frontmen," Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page says "Paul Stanley proves himself as an artist in music and on canvas and now with a great book."

Foo Fighter and Nirvana star Dave Grohl said, "Paul is a great man who has achieved great things. His story is inspiring and motivating for anyone who dreams big. As he said in 1978, 'Wouldn't You Like to Know Me?' The answer is yes and now we finally do."
