The Globe compared Harmony in Yellow and Brown: Sunday [YMSM 248] with An Orange Note: Sweet Shop [YMSM 264] and Harmony in Brown and Gold: Old Chelsea Church [YMSM 305]:

'Mr Whistler's fine sense of colour and his power of rapidly recording his impression of a scene, are ... best shown in his studies made in the streets about Chelsea. The rows of old houses, "Sunday," "Old Chelsea Church", and the little "Sweet Shop" ... are admirable studies, most harmonious in tone, produced with little apparent labour, but conveying an impression of completeness.' 1
