The New York Times Book Review has called the pamphlets "extraordinarily good," pointing out that "they are just long enough (48 pages) to permit a real survey of an author's work and short enough to attract the casual reader, the anxiety-ridden student, and the professor desperate for the straight word on an unfamiliar writer."
