Unlike Crysis 2s protagonist Alcatraz who does not speak throughout the game, Prophet is voiced in Crysis 3 in an effort to deliver more emotional connection.

Not perfect, but deeper, more affecting than U.S. moviegoers are accustomed to seeing. It's easy to guess what happens, but we're hooked anyway. A last-reel twist almost spoils the effect; we're waiting for something to go wrong with such a delicate story.

He states: "[W]ith an electric guitar he did a fine job of recreating the Eighties driving rock of Don Henley on "Since We're Alone", while his acoustic version of Fool's Gold was far more affecting than the 1D original. "Slow Hands" sent the crowd into delirium, Horan sounding like a pop star who might yet give Messrs Styles and Malik a run for their money.

The middle section begins in G major but involves a number of key modulations, which makes the passage that initially evokes a brighter mood even more affecting yet dreamlike later on. # Finale (Allegro non troppo) (in D minor and in rondo form) – Back in D minor, the movement opens dramatically.

These structures came to replace many of the original structures as the character of the colonia changed, along with the lack of urban planning, zoning and the destruction caused by the 1985 earthquake. Owners of many of the older structures have had or have wanted to demolish or radically change them for economic reasons, a process which still persists today. In cases where they have succeeded, modern office and apartment buildings have appeared. Not only are these structures taller and markedly different in design, they also weigh more, affecting the ground around them and causing damage to remaining earlier structures.

However, he judged that the episode "had rather more bite than the first". O'Donovan added, "Marchant's skilful untangling of Conrad's over-complicated plot brought all this to the fore without sacrificing too much in the way of subtlety or surprise", before concluding: "It could have been the climax to a lesser drama. But with another full hour to go, the one thing that seems guaranteed by The Secret Agent is an even murkier – and perhaps still more affecting – trawl through a dark night of the human soul that, despite being dressed up in Victorian garb, feels wholly relevant to right now." The third episode was not so well received.

Robert Shearman and Lars Pearson, in their book Wanting to Believe: A Critical Guide to The X-Files, Millennium & The Lone Gunmen, gave the episode a glowing review and rated it five stars out of five. The two noted that "this is what The X-Files should be doing now" and that "this would have been the template on which to have built a series starring Doggett and Reyes."

Shearman and Pearson ultimately called the end result "clever, thoughtful, […] very moving" and "beautiful".

It has been shown that most of the people who mimic crimes seen in the media (especially news and violent movies) have in most cases prior criminal records, prior severe mental health problems or histories of violence suggesting that the effect of the media is indirect (more affecting criminal behaviour) rather than direct (directly affecting the number of criminals). However that indirect influence that the media has on the individual does give them the idea of how to commit the crime. The type of reaction that the media coverage gives crimes can determine the path another criminal might take. This is because most copycat criminals are intent on the shock value of their actions.

On its release, David Hepworth of Smash Hits wrote: "It's good enough, jolly enough and assuredly catchy enough, but Jackson can make much slyer, more affecting records when he wants to, and without sacrificing any of the commercial appeal." Peter Trollope of the Liverpool Echo described the song as a "good album track" but one that "shouldn't have been [the] follow up" to "It's Different for Girls". Mike Gardner of Record Mirror considered "Kinda Kute" a "jolly rolling tune" but felt it "hasn't the edge to do more than creep into the lower reaches of the charts". He felt "Don't Wanna Be Like That" would have been a "better choice" as a single.

In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau lamented the amount of filler throughout the two discs in the form of several hymns and love songs, but complimented the secular songs about true love, ordinary life, and "the days before rock and roll", finding the album "more affecting than you'd figure" overall. It was voted the 21st best album of 1991 in The Village Voices annual Pazz & Jop critics poll. In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Michael Gallucci felt Hymns to the Silence was Morrison's best album during the 1990s, although he also found it too long and essentially a "spirited rewrite" of his previous record Enlightenment. Rob Sheffield was more critical in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), deeming it a "complex and self- involved" imitation of Avalon Sunset with a few exceptional songs.

" On the other hand, the grace displayed by Raphael's Joseph "is equally great but perhaps more affecting since the manner of its expression is less obvious." Joseph's posture demonstrates an understated grace, since his slight turn toward the viewer tends to conceal the easy flow of line which characterizes the figure overall while he introduces any number of linear rhythms in the garment subordinate to the main movement of the figure. These variations, in addition to the deliberate avoidance of any dramatic highlights, help to explain why it is that we feel the "nonchalance" of Raphael's Joseph in contrast to the almost hieratic frozen grace of Perugino's. In the former we can detect that quality which Castiglione had in mind when he wrote: "Therefore we may call that art true art which does not seem to be art.

Dave Gelly, reviewing The Right to Love in The Observer, gave the album four stars and said it displayed "a characteristic mixture of deceptive simplicity and emotional depth". John Lewis, in a four- starred review for The Guardian, described it as "an elegant song suite... her elegant vocal improvisations eking new truths from familiar lyrics each time". In another four-starred review, Jane Cornwell for the Evening Standard described the album as "bewitching" and "all the more affecting for the honesty with which she presents love songs written by everyone from Hoagy Carmichael to Jacques Brel and Tom Waits". Charlie Anderson, for London Jazz News, said that "Liane Carroll and producer James McMillan have struck gold once again with an impressive album". Cormac Larkin, writing in The Irish Times, also gave the album four stars and said that "McMillan’s deft, uncliched arrangements provide soulful settings for a unique voice in UK jazz, a lithe, joyous, fearless one that can strike that elusive balance between style and substance".
