Pritchett said of Loving in a front-page article in the New York Times. This enthusiasm for the works of Henry Green is shared by the major critics in England, where seven of his novels have appeared. [...] A few leading American critics are now beginning to give him equally serious and lengthy appraisal, and there is already a small and avid group of devotees among readers who have imported his books.
