Commenters were largely unimpressed. "It's going to take a helluva lot more than one very tall building for Oklahoma City to 'transform the city into a global destination'," jeered Evil Doer. "These people are delusional," they added. Meanwhile, John Lakeman deemed it "just another out-of-scale, look-at-me, ego-trip design."
"I wonder if it will become known as 'The Tallest Empty Building in the US'," pondered The Truth in a comment that was upvoted 12 times. "'Unlimited hubris' sounds better," suggested Jim Angrabright.

Anklam was on the same page and argued "just because they can build an insanely tall tower does not mean they should."
However, Armagob was less disparaging and argued "I think it would be fantastic, I'd go there just to see it."
