“Nautical Twilight reveals enough to show that he has rarely fitted any pigeonhole. … Craftsmanship, economy and precision are clearly what matter greatly to Raban in this seemingly dry, yet highly informative autobiography. His explanation of the unusual title, likely to mean little to most readers, is typical.” (Ian Christie, MFJ - Millennium Film Journal, Issue 82, 2025)
