The New York Times called Gray's stories "leaps of faith, brave excursions into the realms of the unreal."[2] while the Los Angeles Times defined her style as “akin to the alternately seething and absurd moods of David Lynch and Cronenberg.”[3] Of THREATS, NPR said "Amelia Gray's psychological thriller takes us to the brink between reality and delusion."[4]

Gray is a member of Giving What We Can, a community of people who have pledged to give at least 10% of their income to effective charities.[5]
