Gore Vidal found the book, as well as Gardner's novels, sanctimonious and pedantic, and called Gardner the "late apostle to the lowbrows, a sort of Christian evangelical who saw Heaven as a paradigmatic American university."Vidal, Gore (1986) "Calvino's Death." From The Essential Gore Vidal. Gardner inspired and, according to Raymond Carver, sometimes intimidated his students.

Caricaturing Woolf, Lynes outlined the perfect world without middlebrows; lowbrows work and highbrows create pure art. Months later, Life magazine asked Lynes to specifically distinguish among the right foods, furniture, clothes, and arts for each of the four 'brows'. That began a national preoccupation, as people tried to identify their proper social class, based upon their favorite things. Although middlebrow often has connoted contempt, Lynes lauded the zeal and aspirations of the middlebrows.

J. B. Priestley sought to create a positive cultural space around the concept of middlebrow - one characterised by earnestness, friendliness and ethical concerns.B. Driscoll, The New literary Middlebrow (2014) p. 40 He couched his defense of the middlebrow in terms of radio stations, praising the BBC Home Service for its cosiness and plainness, midway between the Light Programme and the Third Programme: "Between the raucous lowbrows and the lisping highbrows is a fine gap, meant for the middle or broadbrows...our homely fashion".Quoted in Richard Hoggart, The Uses of Literacy (1957) p.

The ambivalent nature of The Threepenny Opera, derived from an 18th-century ballad opera but conceived in terms of 20th-century musical theatre, has led to discussion as how it can best be characterised. According to critic and musicologist Hans Keller, the work is "the weightiest possible lowbrow opera for highbrows and the most full-blooded highbrow musical for lowbrows". The Weill authority Stephen Hinton notes that "generic ambiguity is a key to the work’s enduring success", and points out the work's deliberate hybrid status: > For Weill [The Threepenny Opera] was not just ‘the most consistent reaction > to [Richard] Wagner’; it also marked a positive step towards an operatic > reform. By explicitly and implicitly shunning the more earnest traditions of > the opera house, Weill created a mixed form which incorporated spoken > theatre and popular musical idioms.
