Sukumar Muralidharan, fellow at [[Indian Institute of Advanced Study]], reviewed the book for [[Business Line]].<ref name=":1" /> According to him, author "successfully established the particularity of the stigma in parricide in the Hindu context, excavating the epics to argue that it remains a rarity."<ref name=":1" /> "In the face of brazen celebrations," Muralidharan wrote, "of Gandhi’s assassination at the public stage today, scholar Makarand Paranjape’s book puts the leader back on a place that is his alone."<ref name=":1" />

Chirosree Basu, over a review in [[Telegraph India]], wrote that Paranjape "undoubtedly made a path-breaking study in an area that was thought to have been done to death".<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/the-ghost-who-still-walks/cid/1439344|title=The ghost who still walks|website=www.telegraphindia.com|language=en|access-date=2020-03-04}}</ref> He added that author forces the reader to look at the assassination and what does it symbolise.<ref name=":2" /> However, according to Basu, Paranjape's work seems to be unnecessary exploration of "[[Schizoanalysis]]" and author gives back-handed advantage to the Godse's followers and deluded souls.<ref name=":2" />

Bureau of [[Free Press Journal]] wrote that author used previously unseen historical documents to reconstruct Gandhi's assassination.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/book-reviews/the-death-and-afterlife-of-mahatma-gandhi|title=The Death and Afterlife of Mahatma Gandhi|website=Free Press Journal|language=en|access-date=2020-03-04}}</ref> It added that author has sought to look into the fuller ramifications of Gandhi's death.<ref name=":4" /> Dilip Simeon, writing for the [[Indian Express]], compared Mahatma Gandhi's life as compass and how to use it is on us. Additionally, he wrote that Paranjape courageously took the efforts to present it before us.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/books/in-the-name-of-the-father-9/|title=In the Name of the Father|date=2015-04-04|website=The Indian Express|language=en-US|access-date=2020-03-04}}</ref> "Given Paranjape’s call for truthfulness," wrote Simeon, "the Sangh’s violent activities required attention."<ref name=":5" />
