Along with Baldwin comes V.S. Naipaul ("The benevolent rheumy-eyed old soul: so fond of the word 'nigger,' so aggressive in his lack of sympathy toward Africa, so brutal in his treatment of woman"); Tomas Transtromer ("It's a good thing I'm unembarrassable about influence, because I realize now how many of Transtromer's concepts I have hidden away in my own work"); W.G. Sebald ("This expert mixing of forms owed a great deal to his reading of the 17th-century melancholics Robert Burton and Thomas Browne"); Derek Walcott ("He names painters as his exemplars more often than he names poets: Pissarro, Veronese, Cézanne, Manet, Gauguin and Millet roll through the pages"); and André Aciman ("Aciman's debt to Proust is deep and freely acknowledged").

In a mixed review, Spins Chris Norris complimented the album's "sordid epics and dark confessionals", but felt that Cave's "rheumy Poe-ish romance" songs were less effective. In the English music press, Selects Clark Collis remarked that Murder Ballads "weaves itself together into a meditation on death that is both beautiful and genuinely unnerving." Dave Henderson of Q observed that "musically, the Bad Seeds touch on tinkling cabaret jazz, country-paced morbidity and every morose station between." Murder Ballads ranked number 16 on Melody Makers list of 1996's Albums of the Year and number 7 in the NMEs 1996 critics' poll.

In Turn Coat she tries to have him arrested repeatedly (for the crime of harboring a fugitive, of which he was guilty) and is angered when Ebenezar and Injun Joe refuse. She is described as being of unclear age, with granite colored hair, "rheumy" eyes and being very creepy and scary. In the television adaptation, Ancient Mai has mostly been portrayed by Elizabeth Thai for the majority of the character's appearance, although she was not the performer in the character's original appearance. She is much younger appearing than in the books and seems to have the hostility towards Harry that Morgan does in the books.

In 1955, Frank received the further recognition that came the inclusion by Edward Steichen of seven his photographs (many more than most other contributors) in the world- touring Museum of Modern Art exhibition The Family of Man that was to be seen by 9 million visitors and with a popular catalogue that is still in print. Frank's contributions had been taken in Spain (of a woman kissing her swaddled babe-in-arms), of a bowed old woman in Peru, a rheumy-eyed miner in Wales, and the others in England and the US, including two (one atypically soft-focus) of his wife in pregnancy, and one of six laughing women in the window of the White Tower Hamburger Stand on Fourteenth Street, New York City.
