Serena Davies from "The Daily Telegraph" praised the first episode, calling it "faithful to the spirit of the book" and stating that the series "deftly stepped out of the shadows of two formidable predecessors

"The New York Times" critic Ginia Bellafante said, "There's nothing glaringly wrong with this new "Sense and Sensibility", the last in Masterpiece's winter-long homage to Austen; it is both lush and tidy.

In her book "Romantic Correspondence: Women, Politics, and the Fiction of Letters," Mary Favret explores Austen's fraught relationship with epistolary fiction, claiming that Austen "wrestled with epistolary form" in previous writings and, with the publication of "Sense and Sensibility," "announced her victory over the constraints of the letter."
