• “Mr. Smith provides scintillating imitations of period circumlocutions and Wildean epigrams.”

• “In The Uneasy Chair, Evan Smith has created a bewitching little comedy of Victorian manners. Smith manages to convert a ridiculous situation into pure comedy made entrancing by its unerringly satirical command of the pompous lifestyle of middle-class Victorians.”
