Reviews of his 1993 book of poetry ''City Times & Other Poems'' have been significant. According to Pradip Kansi , writing in ''The Scoria'': "City Times & Other Poems'' the poet appears to be "quite sincere in his own unselfconscious way...." Rev. of ''City Times & Other Poems''. ''The Scoria'' (July-September 1997): 74-75.A review in ''Poetry Today '' further states , According to Moti Mukhopadhyaya "The book of verses under discussion evokes all these thoughts as Vihang Naik has selected a style of his own, different from the running practice. His diction is no doubt attractive. The economy of using words, selection of right word in right place, distribution of words as per flow of thought, continuity or breaking us of a line in the interest of rhyme, all of which have been helpful to the poet in translating success fully his stream of consciousness". Rev. of ''City Times & Other Poems''. ''Poetry Today'' (October-December 1999): 51-52. Further According to Dr.B.S.Murthy writing in "JELF Contour": "City Times & Other Poems":All his poems are marked by precision and intensity , and , of course , typographical experimentation. As a 'First Book of Verse' the volume is remarkable for its creative maturity , and tight control of verse form .Rev. of ''City Times & Other Poems''. ''JELF Contour'' (January-June 2000): 46-48. Further as Dr. Sachin C. Ketkar puts it in "POET": "City Times & Other Poems" found "All the poems are remarkable for their brevity and precision. The poet cleverly uses the line breaks to achieve minimalist-imagistic effects. The City is the central image in the collection. It is a metaphor of life, with all its labyrinthine streets which 'lead you nowhere'". Rev. of ''City Times & Other Poems''. ''POET: The Journal World Poetry Society , Intercontinental'' (February 2004): 61-63.
