I think Jack had a hard time cracking Astounding/Analog to begin with. Without denigrating fans of that magazine, it is a forum for hard SF, new scientific ideas and a few oddball ones too, to wit, Shaver and the Dean Drive. From memory, only Gift of Gab has made it on their pages. I really do think sometimes that Analog fears writing that is culturally based as Jack's mainly is, so the negative review is hardly surprising.
