Tito Palumbo reviewed the book in the August 2007 issue of
B.A. Tango Buenos Aires Tango:

"Tango lovers and those who want to go deeper into the customs
and habits of the portena population from mid-19th century to
the present cannot miss it.  The purpose of the Mataburros dictionary
is to make the group of words and expressions which form Lunfardo
understandable to English speakers or anyone who speaks this language."
