Deeply perceptive review in Locus magazine by the SF critic Niall Harrison, taking the science-fictionality of Cahokia Jazz as a given, and then working its way onward from there to examine what the book does with the genre:

'Ultimately Cahokia Jazz is most notable for the thought that's gone into its thought-experiment. It demands the reader's trust and faith as it unpacks its characters, plot, and ideas, and it invites debate about its choices.'
