More Than Two received positive reviews within polyamorous communities upon publication.[3][4][5] The book was a finalist in the Family & Relationships category for the 2014 Indiefab Awards (later rebranded as the Foreword INDIES).[6][7]

In 2019, a group of Franklin Veaux's former partners and others, including More Than Two co-author Eve Rickert and three of the women whom Veaux had told personal stories about in More Than Two and in Veaux's memoir, The Game Changer, went public describing negative experiences with Veaux over the course of their relationships with him.[8] The accusations led to other critical analyses of the book.[9] Rickert has since published on her own blog criticizing certain parts of More Than Two and describing how the ideas within them contributed to negative experiences in her relationship with Veaux.[10][11]
