The short storywriter and essayist William Kittredge said of Lacy's work, The Natural Father, "Robert Lacy's stories are direct, honest, grace-filled, and useful. The Natural Father is that good thing, a book that both sweetens and illuminates our lives." Of Happy Birthday, Dear Darrell, the literary critic and cultural historian John Wilson Foster noted Lacy's humor, compassion, and attractive sauntering prose, and observed that Lacy's characters "inhabit the undramatic intervals of history, like the author's own post-World War II generation, but gods make their own importance, as the Irish poet tells us. Mostly vignettes, these first-rate stories finish with a road movie in words worth the price of admission alone. 'Three Hundred and Twenty-Six Jackrabbits' transforms an American coming-of-age expedition to Chuck Berry's Promised Land into an odyssey that redeems the vanity and reversals that compose it".
