Roychowdhury's works earned him wide acclaim early on.
Bengali poet Joy Goswami lauded him saying “He is a poet of new empowerment”, and Sunil Gangopadhyay saying “Bibhas’s poems have provided much support to the livelihood and struggle.
Bangladesh prosper in his poems".

A Muse India review (Issue 58, November–December 2014) says, "Roy Chowdhuy's thematic trajectory touches the milestones of death thoughts that loom large, palpable nostalgia and essential poetic sadomasochism, all through ignited by a sense of Bengali-ness with a view to communicating with the readers about their genesis and probable destination.
Roy Chowdhury does not emphasize on any monolithic poetic premise: instead his easeful tête-à-tête mood builds up a quick bond with the readers, and why not?
He thinks the way the Bengalis think, he lends voice to the habitual Bengali Poetic thoughts.
This rare excellence has characterized every piece of his writings that amuses poetry lovers".

The Fox Chase Review says, "Bibhas’s voice pulsates with an undercurrent of passion... it is melancholic yet inflected with hope... pithy in words but loaded with sensitivity... it is a reflection of the loneliness of the poet’s heart and its aches.
To quote Kafka, “(his) pen is the seismograph of (his) heart.”
I realized that these poems are not for idle reading.
I read them once, I read them again and then again each time sinking a little deeper into their profundity, their challenging complexity, and emerged with an ‘aha’ feeling.
That is the beauty of these poems... they plummet you beyond the tips into their inner core and thereby into your own deeper recesses, conversing with your sense of self."

The Red Fez magazine claims (in issue 73), "There is an undercurrent of melancholy in the poems offered in this text.
But buoyant optimism of the poet comes to the fore fascinatingly.
Source of melancholy need not cloud spirit of hope as is evident here.
Perhaps, it explains why this book is so appealing.
Nowhere does rendition look jarring or monotonous.


Rumpa Das,  Associate Professor and head of the department of English in Maheshtala College in Kolkata writes (on Ink Sweat and Tears), "Reading Roy Chowdhury’s poems that smell of his thought-ridden soul – his anguished response to the holocaust of the Partition (in Bhatiyali), his painful awareness of a poet’s predicament in today’s society and refusal to conform to pre-conditioned roles (in Bibhas) or his interpretation of relationships as an intimate experience such as those of water-droplets  caressing the body while bathing (as in Ashram) – all these arouse us, his readers, as it possibly did Kiriti [Sengupta], to the intense thrill of a life beyond … of a life where every moment encompasses a myriad lives, some colored as dark as pain, and some as mysterious as evening rain."


The Ethos Literary Journal says (ELJ, Issue I, 9 June 2018), "Roy Chowdhury’s unique and powerful voice lingers long after it stops.
It’s soft, warm and soulful.
He writes, like he always does, either from epiphany or from peak-experience, so his every poem becomes real and living.
Bibhas Roy Chowdhury creates magic reality out of the stark realities.
He is the master of the craft."
