Opera commnettor Michael Scott summarises her career and evaluates her recordings in The Record of Singing (Duckworth, London, 1977).
Critics particularly admired her relatively smooth vocal delivery and the dignity and refinement that she gave to the vocal lines of the music at hand, although—as the opera commentator and record reviewer Michael Scott details in The Record of Singing (Duckworth, London, 1977)—her technique was not impeccable, with her ripe lowest register not fully integrated with the upper parts of her voice.

"The New York critic Huneker disliked his 'mincing gait' and complained of a 'lack of virility in his impersonations.'
