The reviews of the statue were positive although one commentator said it was "apparently designed in her likeness". The council had made an exception in allowing the statue as subjects for sculpture are normally expected to have died at least twenty years ago. Mitch Winehouse, who had approved the sculptor, said that "Amy was in love with Camden and it is the place her fans from all over the world associate her with." Mitch Winehouse also said that the sight of the statue was "incredibly emotional" and that it was "like stopping her in a beautiful moment in time ... We really hope Amy's fans love the statue."Winehouse's mother, Janis, said that "I am pleased with how the statue turned out because you can see that it's Amy ... Camden is Amy's place, it's where she belongs." Windsor said that "I've had many honours throughout my career, but this is the greatest honour ... I was one of the fortunate people who got to know Amy in the last few years of her too short life. Not only was she one of the greatest talents that this country has ever produced, she was a warm, lovely kind and fun lady ... Amy loved Camden with a passion and Camden loved her so it's only right her presence should remain here."
