A review of ''Hedgeburners'' described Alexander as "an experienced writer for primary-age children" and praised the "compelling plot, convincing characterization" and natural language used in the work. A reviewer for the non-fiction book ''Talking about Your Weight'' noted that the work offered "good information and interesting insights" about the topic and they felt that it would not make readers self-conscious.
