"Marked with the humour and grip with which Mr. Lyons visualizes an episode, and by his remarkable power of transcribing the talk of the less educated classes of the community."—Times.
"We doubt if it would be easy to overpraise Mr. Neil Lyons, for his humour is of the truest and most discreet order. A jollier, cheerfuller, more sympathetic book than 'Cottage Pie,' will be sought after in vain among the successes of the season."—Daily Telegraph.

"I found myself the grateful admirer of Simon and his creator. Mr. Lyons' sympathetic drawing of certain odd London characters is a thing that I have often admired; he has no portraits in his gallery better than these, of the quaint objects of Simon's Silverside hospitality ... specially did I like Margaret ... she and some others are also depicted in some very attractive drawings which illustrates (for once the right word) a book which will certainly delight those who can appreciate it."—Punch.
"Those who come fresh to his work will find in it a peculiar humour, irresistible, cynical... They will also find a power of satire and a true understanding of what are known as the 'lower classes.'"—Spectator.
