Michael Coren in the Toronto Star described this as "an unremarkable book",[2] but it was named as one of the 14 best books of 1990 by The New York Times.[3] Nigel Nicolson, reviewing for The New York Times, wrote "This biography will endure beside Seven Pillars as his monument, and any future book about T. E. Lawrence will be but a commentary on it."[4]
