One reviewer, Harvey Curtis Webster, wrote of the book, "The pleasure of reading The Negro Caravan is hardly undermined by the fact that one emerges a more enlightened human being."[5] In her newspaper column My Day, Eleanor Roosevelt wrote that The Negro Caravan "should be in everyone's library."[6]
