In a 1998 review in The New York Times of Ringgold's show Dancing at the Louvre at the New Museum, Grace Glueck called the series "poignantly witty" and praised its "vivid sense of history" and "audacious imagination." In a 1999 review in The Washington Post of the Baltimore Museum of Art's showing of Dancing at the Louvre, Michael O'Sullivan praised the series, describing the quilts as "not bedclothes at all but idiosyncratic documents," further noting that the quilts "take fine art off the gallery wall and throw it back on the laps of the common man."
