"The Mood of the book is light-hearted, but it is also practical, and the neophyte (or 'What is the French for eau-de-cologne? will be able to glean a great deal of sensible information." The Sphere. "Rarely does one find a book of this kind at once so practical and entertaining. There's No Place Like Paris, a Mixture of humour, wit, and common sense, should be invaluable to the intending visitor, as well as interesting to those who already know the city. The author knows her Paris and her Parisians intimately, and writes about it and them in the gayest manner, so that her book can be enjoyed even by those who have never been to Paris." Glasgow Herald. "Witty, practical, uncompromising. ... Helene MacLean's pages rush us from point to point as diligently as the Metro, stopping at all the stations worth visiting, brisk, colourful, cheerful and ever so slightly grubby.... She pulls no punches and leaves no plugs unpulled ..." New Statesman.
