Critical reviews have been generally bad, stating that this sequel is not really up to the standard set by the du Maurier original. The plot has been regarded as quite dull, without any evolution of the character of Mrs de Winter in spite of the time lapse. In addition it casts the same characters all over again without the narration being intense and engaging enough.
