Joyce Haber of the Los Angeles Times said "Dunne's observations are right on the button, his descriptions are spare but evocative, his observations combine substance with humor." In 1969 Charles Champlin called it "the hottest book in movie circles these days". The New York Times said the book was full "of the most awful scenes." (en)
