Crompton was a respected academic whose two best known books were published by the University of California Press and the Harvard University Press, both impeccable academic houses. I found generally favorable reviews of Homosexuality and Civilization in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, The Guardian, the Yale Review of Books, the Journal of World History, and the Village Voice. Publisher's Weekly called the book a "notable monograph, impressive for its breadth and readability" Although some of these reviewers criticized some aspects of the book, I was not able to find a single overtly negative review. Accordingly, I consider Crompton's Homosexuality and Civilization to be a reliable source for this article.
