Liberal Welsh author and politician J. Hugh Edwards wrote of the phrase in 1896 that "there is not a subject on which the great bulk of the English people is so astoundingly misinformed as that which has reference to Wales," accusing the editors of the Enclyopedia Britannica of having "found themselves absolutely devoid of a single idea in reference to the history of the country and of its people."

Daran Hill of the Institute of Welsh Affairs has called the phrase "arguably one of the most inflammatory sentences ever committed to print," adding that "in Welsh politics generally, comparisons with Scotland are acceptable, with England they are not." Jac Larner of Cardiff University has said that there has been a recent "habit of comparing Wales to Scotland, as the ‘other’ devolved Celtic fringe," but that the comparison is not more accurate than comparing Welsh politics to English politics.
