Swami and Friends has been praised by critics as a particularly exceptional story and picture of childhood. Most readers agree that through Narayan's plain language, idyllic plot details, and matter-of-fact tone of childish truth, he manages to create a character who is immediately understood and loved. Further, most come away from the reading of this book with a deeper appreciation of the universal way life seems to be for children, as this book so magically captures even in a foreign culture. Most agree that the book (re)sparks a sense of tenderness for children and a longing to revisit childhood.
