Christopher Lehmann-Haupt of The New York Times (where Talese previously worked as a reporter) remarked that Talese had "dug so deep for his roots it's a wonder he didn't come out in China." He had mixed feelings about the work, writing that Talese's stories could be rich, vivid, and emotionally compelling but could also sometimes devolve into long, irrelevant tangents.[1]
