Editorial Reviews:
Review:"In an unprogrammatic way, [the story] explores notions of time, identity, and self-responsibility; and it creates its own bleak universe in which lost souls wander vainly in search of the perfect match, the 'other people' who might make them whole."
Times Literary Supplement, 03/06/1981
Review:"Amis showed in 'Success' how he can manipulate and ironise the individual and self-protecting comedies of life into a picture of experience charged with pain and fear. But in 'Other People' the manipulation finally seems over-ambitious, and something appears to have gone wrong in the latter part of the book: the whole thing becomes factitious, obscure, unsatisfactory. It remains more of a 'Mystery Story' than, one suspects, was intended."
New Statesman, 03/13/1981
