He was Horatius on the tottering bridge; Hector, who alone stood between Troy and destruction. He was born to rescue. But he is more dangerous than those who are stubborn or grim. He has something of D'Artagnan in him; there is a gaiety besides the simplicity and strength; seen in the slight list of the cap, and in a certain jauntiness and optimism of gait.

All these drunks out on the sidewalk, the kind of people who are drinking at 7am, bawling out 'I did it My Way'. Fantastic." The Australian described "Mexican Wedding" as "the one that's hardest for the more conservative rock aficionados to come at — but hear it out. It'll repay you. The Latino bar-band feel would likely fall apart in lesser hands, but here it just makes sense, swaggering with almost a Bruce Springsteen/Tom Waits kind of jauntiness.

In 1987 Tor published his first novel, Napoleon Disentimed, a parallel-universe and time-travel story of some complexity. It is written with Peirce's characteristic wit, irony, and jauntiness and is almost Wodehousian in its zaniness and complications of plot. Two more novels followed swiftly. The Thirteenth Majestral, later reissued as Dinosaur Park, was another intensely complex time-travel novel, but this time written—in both style and theme—in the somewhat rococo manner of the great science-fiction stylist Jack Vance.

Music journalist Andy Gill of The Independent recommended the tracks "House", "Fear Itself " and "The Panic Is On". Simmy Richman's review for The Independent complimented Wainwright's ability to address current issues "simply and effectively", claiming "Wainwright can make you laugh, nod in agreement, shake your fist in despair and want to sing along". Richman appreciated Wainwright's honesty and humor and wrote that he displayed "better lyrical form than he has been in for some time".

Much like King and Cummings, Buchanan and Baker were wealthy socialites and intimate friends. Baker, à la Cummings, "wore all her dresses like sports clothes — there was a jauntiness about her movements as if she had first learned to walk upon golf courses on clean, crisp mornings." In the novel, Baker is the love interest of the novel's narrator Nick Carraway, and she purportedly cheats at golf, but there is no evidence that Fitzgerald drew this particular detail from Cummings. Fitzgerald reportedly created the name of Cummings' character by combining the names of two car manufacturers, the Jordan Motor Car Company and the Baker Motor Vehicle.

In his Mojo magazine review, critic Andrew Male wrote "This beautiful collection of the American steel- string guitarist’s festive efforts, from 1968 and 1975, possesses a deliciously deep and spooky ambience, a disjointed jauntiness coupled with a frost-fall morning melancholy, Fahey’s guitar somehow sounding like an Elizabethan harpsichord grown wild and mad out in the Appalachian mountains." However, another Mojo article, "How To Buy Fahey", dismisses these recordings as "Cliff-territory bland". Jonathan Widran, writing for Allmusic writes it "reminds one of the simple charms of the season and how easy it is to capture that when you keep a no-frills approach.

In 2017, Pitchfork dedicated an entire article - titled "Why You Should Listen to John Fahey’s Christmas Music—Even If You Hate Christmas Music" to The New Possibility and Fahey's other Christmas releases, hailing the former as a "landmark" release and praising its experimental interpretations of Christmas music.
