I remember reading this with a Marxist group. We had relative consensus that we loved the ideas, especially on primitive accumulation, but found the historical elements to be weak. I think a lot of critics and reviewers have picked up on the same thing, saying that Federici's history was totally off. Would be a much stronger book without these elements, I think.

Regardless, it's necessary reading. Her idea of primitive accumulation is beautiful.
