Daily News.—“These songs and poems are intensely and sincerely felt . . . they have the fine, careful, literary coldness of some of the lyrics of Landor or of the more serious work of Peacock. It is the poetry of a refined and knightly nature . . . and it deserves to be studied and remembered . . . its mood is austere and its temper noble.”
Globe.—“Excellent verses, easy, melodious, and charming.”
Tribune.—“All lovers of poetry will be grateful for Mr. Stephen Coleridge’s volume. Dainty and finished in execution, and instinct with a genuine human sympathy, these lyrics betray the hand of a craftsman in verse. . . . Verses of this quality should secure for ‘Songs to Desideria’ a sincere welcome.”
Glasgow Herald.—“The Hon. Stephen Coleridge has already established his position among the more tuneful writers of true lyric verse, and into all that he writes the poet puts delicacy and true emotion, the former never becomes mere phrase, the latter never degenerates into wordy passion.”
South Wales Daily News.—“There is sometimes a depth of feeling in his passages for which one usually looks only in the great masters of English literature.”

Observer.—“Mr. Coleridge has furnished ‘The Dictionary of National Biography’ (or the Victorian part of it) with a supplement of wit and conversation. And one hardly knows at which to marvel most, the number of celebrities he hauls up in his net, of the number of laughs he gets out of them. His book is rich in fresh anecdote and the best light elements of personality.”
