"This is a very English memoir, resolutely modest in tone, casually grand in its dramatis personae, and consistently amusing....'Long Life' drops many celebrated names, yet its author remains endearing nonetheless, mainly because he simply accepts, occasionally with bemusement, his privileged life and heritage....'Long Life' is essentially an account of a happy, Epicurean life, a country-house weekend of a book, filled with witty company, long walks in the country, and sumptuous meals."

Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World, 03/01/1998

"What results overall is less a narrative than a species of conversation, the musings and reconsiderations of a man of vast and varied experience who is very good company....Nicolson is openly an elitist--though not, as he wants to make clear, a snob. He is, rather, a believer in distinctions. In the political arena, Nicolson is an unswerving, if wistful, democrat; but in the cultural sphere, he rejects the egalitarianism currently popular in some circles....His particular political-cultural mix is, in my view, the one that makes the most sense in our time."

R. W. B. Lewis, New York Times Book Review, 03/15/1998
