Library Journal's Stacey Hayman wrote, "This page-turner has depth of feeling and intriguing historical details that will sweep readers off their feet." [1] Hayman also highlighted that "the novel’s well-developed characters engage readers’ emotions while representing a variety of economic and political viewpoints." [1]

Kirkus Reviews said the novel is "a well-researched exploration of love and redemption against the backdrop of post–World War II New England." [2]

Star Tribune's Laurie Hertzel called The Beach at Summerly "a fascinating novel about love, class, loyalty and money." [3] Hertzel further noted that the jumps between 1940s Massachusetts and 1950s Connecticut "might confuse you at first, but they’re meant to. Stick with it. You won’t be sorry." [3]
