Reviewing Same Sex in the Times Literary Supplement, Nigel Ashford commented that "the tone of the book — of reason and logic, respect for opponents and willingness to engage in intellectual combat — is set by Corvino himself in his examination of the case against homosexuality, and by the inclusion of a rebuttal of his own arguments." (as quoted in Gale's Authors, op.cit.) [1]
