Peck had a reputation as a brusque but fair man, with a streak of unconventionality. Daniel Levin Becker wrote in "Dusted" that, despite its unconventionality, the album is "irredeemably bad". The former is a good example of his daring unconventionality. He predicted as a result that he would remember the episode chiefly for its unconventionality. The marriage was a very happy union despite the unconventionality of the age difference. Perhaps due to its unconventionality, the film was not a commercial success. No doubt the main reason for this lack of public recognition was his unconventionality.
