At its publication, the novel was mostly received well by critics. Engel's writing craft was admired, with The Globe and Mail noting her "fine use of understatement, control, and economy."

The 1976 Governor General's Literary Award jury, which included authors Margaret Laurence, Alice Munro, and Mordecai Richler awarded Bear its English-language Fiction award, one of the highest literary prizes in the country.

Just one tiny moment in time and stuff that I thought was serious, is completely gone. Thanks, now I remember twilight, the fish porn thing, the shades thing…women are quite shit in their taste are they not? God. If its not bears that they want to fuck…they actually fuck dogs…

I mean, this is all real, how can one with a straight face just look at a woman these days and take them seriously? ugh.

Women don't have a taste. Not the same way men do.

Neither for music, nor for poetry, nor for fine art, have they really and truly any sense or

susceptibility; it is a mere mockery if they make a pretence of it in order to assist their endeavour to please. Hence,

as a result of this, they are incapable of taking a purely objective interest in anything
