"Some of these pieces admirably display Wharton's high cultural standards, incisive critical eye, and conservative literary tastes, but many are works only the most devoted Whartonian would need to read."
R. W. B. Lewis
Review:"Her essays are of interest chiefly because they enact the intellectual and cultural adventures of a woman of letters, disciplined perceiver of architecture, gardens and interior decoration, and reader of solid books in science and philosophy as well as belles-lettres....[T]hey disclose a novelist who...clung to...'final values' and traditional ways....[T]he critical essay wasn't the happiest medium for her playful severities."
Kirkus, 10/15/1996
