Green suggests that the editors of Angry Penguins, while not lacking in courage, were lacking in responsibility when they published the Ern Malley poems. She concludes that 'No-one is ever safe from making a false judgement, and it is better to demonstrate one's cultivation to art by admitting that one has made a mistake, than to defend bad art in order to save one's dignity.'
 (p. 16-17)

Cumpston asserts that 'The Ern Malley poems make as much sense as some published examples of [McAuley's and Stewart's] ever did.'
