1127 The audio expert Geoffrey Horn reviewed the album in Gramophone in April 1984. Like his musical colleagues, he was impressed by the quality of Solti's cast, and like Blyth and Jellinek, slightly less impressed by Solti's conducting. The London Philharmonic Orchestra sounded "racily forced" and often weary. His chief complaint repeated a point that Blyth had made.

Her style was characterized as exceedingly attractive, terse, clear, and apt, while her original comments and reflections were judiciously and racily intermixed. She had a graphic pen, and possessed the faculty of always being able to seize upon points of interest and importance, and of giving due proportion and symmetry to the various phases of her subject. Her poetry was highly imaginative, frequently lively, and sparkling and vivid in expression. There was felicity in her choice of subject, and an elevating method of treatment peculiarly her own.

At one time there existed many sheep-herding dogs peculiar to Wales; during the 18th century Welsh drovers taking sheep for sale took with them five or six sheepdogs as "herders on the narrow roads, guards against highwaymen, and providers of game on the route". These were an early type of Welsh Sheepdog, higher on the leg and more racily built than the modern day breed. However, by the 1940s the group had decreased to two or three breeds only.Hubbard, C. L. B., Dogs In Britain, A Description of All Native Breeds and Most Foreign Breeds in Britain, Macmillan & Co Ltd, 1948.

Arnold Schoenberg (1874–1951), associated with atonalism Reviews of the book in British newspapers were generally broadly positive. Ivan Hewett, music critic for The Telegraph, gives the book four out of five stars, describing it as "a racily written, learned and often shrewdly insightful". He highlights Goodall's "amusingly knockabout" presentation, and considers Goodall's appraisal of Satie and Picabia's ballets as "frivolous" (in the context of the ongoing First World War) to be "refreshing". Nicholas Lezard, music book reviewer for The Guardian, praises Goodall's attempt to convey the qualities of music in the written medium, singling out his "masterly" treatment of the period from Haydn to Schubert.

Mark Mazower of Bookforum commended the book for showing the significance of the period between 1870 and 1914 in shaping the leftism, activism and terrorism, and political repression, and wrote that it was "none the worse for" being "very much a tale of anarchism for own times". In the New Statesman, philosopher John N. Gray described the book as "one of the most absorbing depictions of the dark underside of radical politics in many years" but questioned its lack of extended analysis. Richard Alexander of Lobster assessed The World That Never Was as "a highly readable and entertaining (and occasionally thoughtful) text" and recommended it as an introduction to the activities of the revolutionaries and anti-revolutionaries of the period. David Peers, in the anarchist newspaper Freedom, recommended the "racily and colourfully written" book while pointing outs its omission of anarcho- syndicalism and anarchism in Ukraine and Mexico.
