Mapokezi

Mkusanyiko wa kwanza wa Webster, To-Morrow (1922), ulipitiwa kwa ufupi katika Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, kitabu hicho kilihakikiwa na mhakiki asiyejulikana aliona kitabu hicho kuwa "cha kupendeza, rahisi kusoma na kufurahia... si cha ajabu hata kidogo, bali chenye miangaza mingi ya uzuri na hekima ya kike." [8] Msomi wa fasihi wa hivi karibuni aligundua kuwa "Webster aliendeleza ustadi rasmi na wa kiufundi wa mapema," lakini kwamba umakini wake kwenye mateso na kukata tamaa binafsi haukuweza kutambua sababu kubwa za kimuundo za dhiki ya mtu binafsi. [3] Guy Butler alikumbuka kukutana na Webster katika miaka yake ya baadaye: "Mshairi huyo mzee alikuwa na umbo refu na la kusikitisha na alikuwa amevaa nywele zake kwa taji la mfano la majani ya laurel," aliandika. "Athari ilikuwa ya kushangaza sana." [9]

Riwaya ya Nuruddin Farah, Sweet and Sour Milk (1980) inaanza na nukuu kutoka kwenye shairi la Mary Morison Webster kama epigram. [10]
