Having said that, although Gauguin's still lifes of flowers do not have eyes or a nose, they are sometimes very fine paintings indeed (look hard at the one drearily entitled "Bouquet of Flowers" (1901-2), for example; the blooms are so restless, so fleshy, so tousled, so unruly).

As the second half continued drearily, with the fun, good team losing, I thought about what it means to be forgotten and dwelled on the grim reality that much of life is not a Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show that launches laughs and good times but rather a reef upon which our hopes and dreams are continually dashed.

And even when the songs stoop to drearily pro forma paeans to daffodils, the score is exceptionally well served by Mr. Muscato, Clare Burt as Edward's eternally devoted wife, and the clarion-voiced Matthew Seadon-Young as the son, Will, drawn to "bone-dry facts" who discovers not a moment too soon a welcome new world of feeling.

Despite the positive response, some aspects of the show were criticized. Variety's Brian Lowry felt the series was designed as a marketing ploy for a new ThunderCats toyline, and that the show "represents a throwback to the drearily toy-driven 1980s, a period that seems destined to keep returning as much out of pragmatism as nostalgia".

The show was slated to simply be shown in the summer, but did well enough in the ratings that ABC decided to pick up the series for more episodes. Although initially having some success with audiences reviews tended toward the negative. Hence, Entertainment Weekly deemed it "drearily sentimental and banal" while Jon Burlingame was slightly more positive, describing it as a happy and unthreatening. Both reviewers compared it to The Love Boat and Cheers.

In all there were thirty Jameson stories written (twenty four eventually saw publication, six remain unpublished), and twenty-two unrelated pieces. R. D. Mullen, reviewing The Planet of the Double Sun, commented that while many readers have found the stories memorable despite their exceptionally crude writing, he found the characters and events "of such little interest that I feel no desire to follow them through the succeeding stories." Everett F. Bleiler found the stories marked by "drearily innocuous similarities" as well as "weak writing and literary flatness."Bleiler & Bleiler 1998, pp. 196-198.

Having described the first act as "for the most part, drearily long-winded", this critic thought that the second act dragged and came to life only occasionally. He went on: "The third act begins so deafeningly that total stupor would be ensured even if the rest were less long-winded ... The overall effect of the music is not agreeable...". Cosima kept all communications from Munich away from Wagner, and tore up the more critical newspaper reviews. After a second performance, Die Walküre was performed at the Hofoper three further times, alternating with Das Rheingold in a Ring semi-cycle.

" Robert Abele from LA Weekly called the series an "effortlessly entertaining potboiler about the allure of dangerous attraction after probably a few too many shows drearily dissecting broken relationships." Hal Boedecker of the Orlando Sentinel praised True Blood as being "one of the strongest new series in an uncertain fall ... Alan Ball has adapted Charlaine Harris' novels with wit, verve and passion." Tim Goodman from the San Francisco Chronicle praised the performances in the episode, saying Paquin is "deceptively intriguing" and that both she and Moyer "do well here." Alan Sepinwall gave the series a fairly negative review, saying "... It's the kind of show where you have to care a lot more about vampires than I do to stick around for long.

John Whittaker, a Professor of Archeology at Grinnell College, referred to Deloria's "Red Earth White Lies" as "a wretched piece of Native American creationist claptrap that has all the flaws of the Biblical creationists he disdains...Deloria's style is drearily familiar to anyone who has read the Biblical creationist literature...At the core is a wishful attempt to discredit all science because some facts clash with belief systems. A few points will suffice to show how similar Deloria is to outspoken creationist author Duane Gish or any of his ilk." A recent review of readings assigned to students in university programs for the study of Native American culture and in related fields suggests that this view of evolution, human origins, and migration to the New World has become widely accepted.Francis, N. (2017).

His wife died while the house was nearing completion in 1864. Consequently he lived out much of the remainder of his life at Lockinge House Berkshire, the home of his daughter Harriet and her husband Robert Lindsay V.C., later made Lord (and Lady) Wantage in 1885. Overstone House was on the receiving end of much critical opprobrium from at least two noted architectural historians, Nikolaus Pevsner in his Buildings of England Northamptonshire ("a house of many styles.. [which].. almost defeats description" and "a terrible bastard Renaissance house"), and Mark Girouard in The Victorian Country House, Yale University Press 1979 ("drearily asymmetrical" – the full text deserves reading). It was listed by the Department of the Environment (now the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) at Grade II in 1983, principally for its then – 1860s – relatively novel cavity-wall construction.

Critical reception to Never Let Go was mixed. A 1963 review of the film in The New York Times was unfavourable, describing Sellers "grinding his way through the rubble of a drearily routine plot" and attributed his performance in the film, different from his usual comedic roles, to "That itch to play Hamlet, I suppose; a desire to change his pace, which Mr. Sellers has often proclaimed he likes to do". login required Sellers was unhappy with the reception that he received; this reputedly led him to decide that, in future, he would stick to comic roles. (His lead role in Waltz of the Toreadors is certainly comedic, although the film itself is best described as a drama.) Several other players in Never Let Go also made their reputations in comedy, for example Peter Jones who plays Richard Todd's ruthless boss.

" Chris Ryan from Spin gave credit to Cam for tightening his signature flow, choosing quality and risk-worthy beats, and maintaining listener interest while delivering "Harlem symbolism and non-sensical muttering" throughout the album. AllMusic editor Andy Kellman was mixed about the tracks on the record, finding "Girls" and "Harlem Streets" to be weak inclusions but praised the contributions from Kanye West ("Down and Out"), Pop & Versatile ("Soap Opera") and the Heatmakerz ("More Gangsta Music"). He also commented that the "Diplomat-affiliated material" being released alongside it that year may cause their fanbase to suffer burnout from too much content. Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club commended the album for adopting the hyper-soul style of Roc-A- Fella's sound throughout the track listing but criticized Cam's lyric delivery for being similar to nursery rhymes, saying that it "lumbers drearily through a sea of gangsta-rap clichés.
