“Smith is appealingly rakish, thoroughly disreputable, charming, posh, clever and funny – there's something of John Hurt's Quentin Crisp about him, a lovely portrayal.”
— Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
“The piquancy was mostly in the script, with Carter giving Auden the delivery his deadpan one-liners deserved. “I do loathe the sea,” he said, at one point. “It’s so wet and sloppy.”
— Chris Harvey, The Telegraph
“The real charm of Christopher and His Kind is in its performances. Current Doctor Who Matt Smith is brilliant as Isherwood – although he looks very different to the writer, his accent and mannerisms are spot on and his mischievous performance is a delight to watch.”
— P.H. Davies
