Hansberry brings the audience into the Youngers' economic and social factors immediately. Robin Bernstein maintains the play's success stems from Hansberry's ability to "encapsulate 'Negro experience' in the readily knowable, digestible, and non-threatening form of theatrical realism" (Bernstein)
David Cooper writes the play "manages to recover and sustain ethical idealism amid conditions, personal and societal, that would make fatalistic surrender understandable.
