It said: "Our review leads us to conclude that information regarding the purposes for which the United States previously paid Noriega potentially had some probative value;... Thus, the district court may have overstated the case when it declared evidence of the purposes for which the United States allegedly paid Noriega wholly irrelevant to his defense". The Court of Appeals refused to set aside the verdict because it felt that "the potential probative value of this material, however, was relatively marginal".

John MacKenzie, a professor of history, countered Shashi Tharoor in a BBC piece on 28 July 2015. He stated that Tharoor "overstated the case" and that "Britain does not owe reparations to India". With regard to the British plundering of India, MacKenzie stated that even before the British came, India was ruled for the benefit of the rulers. He took the example of the famines and deaths during the period of the Mughal Empire, even during the construction of the Taj Mahal.

The book is widely considered to be among the first ethnographic studies of warfare. In his work on the people of Enga in Papua New Guinea Meggitt found a firmly patrilineal system. This was unusual as compared to other highland groups, which tended to be organized on a basis of residence as well as descent. Restudies of his material as well the Enga suggest that Meggitt overstated the case, and the Enga may be more like other highland groups than was thought in previous decades.

Ruttenberg considered the book carefully argued, and wrote that Grünbaum made a brilliant case that psychoanalytic hypotheses should be tested by normal scientific procedures. However, he believed Grünbaum overstated the case against psychoanalysis. Kline, writing in the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, credited Grünbaum with making a powerful case against the idea that repression is pathogenic for neurosis and with demonstrating that clinical data cannot support psychoanalytic theory. He also considered Grünbaum's case against hermeneutic interpretations of psychoanalysis convincing, and believed he exposed shortcomings of Popper's views.

Crews maintained that Masson had failed to learn from critiques of the book, and that its arguments depended on fallacies. In The New York Review of Books, Crews called the book a melodramatic work in which Masson misrepresented "Freud's 'seduction' patients as self-aware incest victims rather than as the doubters that they remained". Other authors who have discussed the book include the literary scholar Ritchie Robertson, the psychologist Louis Breger, and the scholar John Kerr. Robertson wrote that Masson overstated the case against Freud, observing that while Freud may have underestimated the frequency of child abuse, he did not deny that it does often occur.

Barber, who had been Chief Engraver since 1879, felt that Saint-Gaudens overstated the case, and there was only one man capable of such coinage work—Barber himself. Leech responded to the failed competition by directing Barber to prepare new designs for the dime, quarter dollar, and half dollar, resulting in the Barber coinage, an issue which attracted considerable public dissatisfaction. In 1892, Saint- Gaudens was asked to design the official medal of the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago; it would be presented to prizewinning exhibitors. The obverse of Saint-Gaudens's design, showing Columbus coming ashore, was noncontroversial; his reverse, which featured a torch-bearing naked youth carrying wreaths to crown the victors, was attacked by the censoring postal agent, Anthony Comstock, as obscene.

However, he believed Weeks overstated the case for a social constructionist understanding of human sexuality. Murray wrote that Weeks provided "an impressionistic account of contemporary conflicts about sex" that was "fairly interesting but inconclusive" and a "tendentious pseudohistory" of sexology. He criticised Weeks for rejecting attempts to explain sex in terms of biology and described his "methods in general" as "inadequate", accusing him of over- relying on secondary sources, making "little effort to understand the context of earlier discourses about sex", and failing to make clear that there is a "research tradition of sexology"; he also faulted his treatment of psychology, sociology, and anthropology. He considered Weeks's discussion of anthropologists such as Mead and Malinowski distorted, described his dismissal of Marcuse as "essentialist" as a form of "name-calling", and faulted his arguments about the social construction of homosexuality.

He described the work as "engrossing" and "absorbing and consistently well-argued". Publishers Weekly wrote that the essays included in the book presented a "formidable critique" of both Freudian theory and practice and Freud's major cases, and credited its contributors with presenting "compelling evidence that Freud habitually and greatly exaggerated his therapeutic successes" and with casting serious doubt on "confidence in free association as a curative tool to decipher the meaning of dreams or to reconstruct events from a patient's distant past." While it wrote that the book overstated the case against Freud, it praised the work Crews did in editing it, concluding that he had shaped the selections into a "cohesive whole" and "put psychoanalysis squarely on the defensive." Bresnick was unconvinced by the book's case against Freud, but nevertheless believed it had redeeming value.
