Kirkus Reviews called it "a fun pet romp for new readers of chapter books" School Library Journal called it "a charming beginning chapter book with many illustrations that will appeal to pug-loving young readers". Yay for Vacay was reviewed by The Horn Book, which called it a "cozy (if slight) mystery". Ahn's Audible Original The Golden Orchard was narrated by Kathleen Choe and released in 2020.
