Diana Souhami's comments on the subject are particularly sharp; she says Hall "might have acknowledged the privilege, seductions, freedom, and fun that graced her daily life" (Love 2000, p. 173) and, in response to Hall's claim to be writing on behalf of some of the most persecuted and misunderstood people in the world, remarks "It is doubtful whether Radclyffe Hall and Una, Natalie Barney...and the rest, with their fine houses, stylish lovers, inherited incomes, sparkling careers and villas in the sun, were among the most persecuted and misunderstood people in the world."

  - Hopkins 1998: "[T]o many [students], especially some younger lesbian students for whom the coming out process has been relatively painless, The Well is an affront, an out-dated, unbelievable, ugly insult to their self-image and to their self-esteem."
    Franks 1982, p. 125: "very few critics have ever given the novel itself high praise. On the contrary, they often point out that stylistically, the work is marred by inflated language and stilted dialogue."
    
    Doan & Prosser 2001 (1990s): "the persistent implication is that if Hall had only been a better writer, she might have been a better modernist and certainly a better lesbian".
    
    Castle 2001, p. 398: "Their authors are all in varying degree...quick to acknowledge their own frustrations with Hall's often monstrously overwrought parable."
