Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:

    Good critical writing is measured by the perception and evaluation of the subject; bad critical writing by the necessity of maintaining the professional standing of the critic.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
