Anthony Joseph Paul Cortese's Opposing Hate Speech suggests that Cissy is ``the archetypal stereotype for a lesbian...(using)...non-flattering stereotypes''. Alison Darren's Lesbian Film Guide is much more positive, stating ``You Rang, M'Lord? gave us the wonderful Cissy (...replete with monacle and a series of beautifully tailored suits).'' She goes on to note the character's ``championing of the workers'' suggesting that throughout her character ``behaved with integrity and style.''
