One evening recently, Labov and his two co-authors, Sharon Ash and Charles Boberg, introduced the book at a reception in N.Y.U.'s D'Agostino Hall, as part of the Thirty-fourth NWAV (New Ways of Analyzing Variation) linguistic conference.
She explains that Cheever, by the mid-nineteen-sixties, after years of struggle, had become an established success — a National Book Award, a reception at the White House, lots of money, a big house in Ossining, New York, and a flattering cover story in Time, entitled "Ovid in Ossining".

"The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love," his second book, had a reception that was anything but quiet.
The fundamental importance of the issues he addresses and the freshness and suggestiveness of the account he puts forward, along with his illuminating treatment of aspects of sociobiology theory, will ensure this book a warm reception from philosophers, social scientists, and others with a serious interest in the nature of human thought and action.
Critics gave the book a positive reception.
At Sunday's benefit, Carey, Irving, and White will read from new works and will sign books at a reception afterward.
Balleisen will discuss the book with Sam Buell, the Bernard M. Fishman Professor of Law at Duke University, followed by Q&A with the audience, a book signing, and a reception.
The lecture was followed by a book sale/signing and a reception.
