Critical acclaim for the Seagram Building continued through later years. In 1966, after the building had been open eight years, Ada Louise Huxtable wrote the building was "dignified, sumptuous, severe, sophisticated, cool, consummately elegant architecture". The lobby was described in "The New York Times Magazine" in 1975 as one of "The Ten Best Lobbies in New York". Another critic found the building to be "in toto incomparable". According to Jerold Kayden, who summarized the building in 2000, the Seagram Building "remains the city's quintessential International Style masterpiece of 'tower in the park' architecture". Ricardo Scofidio of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, said the construction of the Seagram Building "was the first time you really realized that architecture brought something to the city that didn’t exist".
