"Independence Day" was highly praised by critics when released, with many reviewers heralding Ford as one of America's finest modern writers. Reviewer Barbara Ehrenreich lauded the title in her 1996 The New Republic review: "Most of the reviewers of 'Independence Day' have concluded that Richard Ford is one of the greatest writers of our time. Surely they underestimate him." Ford has often referenced writer Henry James in his interviews, citing James' masterful approach to narrative voice as an inspiration.
