The Pall Mall Budget reviewed, "The vellum binding, the various symbolic designs, the quaint rubicated initials and the general arrangement of the text, all by Mr Rickett's sympathetic art, are most subtly infused by the spirit of the poem. The designs on the cover are particularly striking, and Mr Ricketts has never made a lovelier thing than the group of maidens clustering round "the moon horned Io" as she weeps." (21 June, 1894)
