Because Anderson explored the new sexual freedom in the novel, it was attacked in an American crusade against "dirty books", which also objected to D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love. Sales of Anderson's novel declined markedly after this unwelcome publicity.[2]
F. Scott Fitzgerald considered Many Marriages to be Anderson's finest novel.[3]
