From Library Journal:
Auchincloss examines the moral ambiguities involved in mixing art and commerce in this mildly entertaining satire. A wealthy art collector, trying to match up her young protegee with the ambitious museum director, has been persuaded to grant the Museum of North America some freedom over her collection's disposition. Upon her death, love, revenge, and respect for great art all enter into the battle among rival factions. While the dialogue is brightly written, there could have been more descriptive detail. Oddly colorless for a novel dealing with the visual arts. Laurie Spector Sullivan, Transportation Authority Archives, Boston

In his 40th book, the author continues the fictional chronicles of the New York elitist establishment and their insidiously controlling power plays. "Auchincloss is not as successful in portraying credible liaisons as he is in making real the ways in which art is big business," remarked PW.
