The novel was widely praised upon its release.[6] The New York Times praised it as a "wise and compassionate" novel.[7] The Globe and Mail called the novel "sensational".[8] The Washington Post commended Jones for her "daring creative choices" and "tender patience".[9] The Guardian described the book as, "an immensely readable novel, packed with ideas and emotion".[10] The Atlantic positively noted that, "with An American Marriage, Jones joins this conversation in a quietly powerful way. Her writing illuminates the bits and pieces of a marriage: those almost imperceptible moments that make it, break it, and forcefully tear it apart."[11]
