Daar was eertyds beweringe van plagiaat teen Ambrose gerig, asook kritiek betreffende onakkuraathede in sy werk. In 'n resensie van To America: Personal Reflections of an Historian vir die New York Times het William Everdell egter geskryf dat "hy sekerlik beter verdien het van sommige van sy afgunstige tydgenote"[1]
