... and, without desiring to involve myself in useless enumerations, I may mention a charming portrait of a young girl (602) by Mr Wilfrid Gabriel Glehn.

André Michel, Salon Review, Athenaeum, June 13th 1896

... none of them challenge the spectator so forcibly as Mr. von Glehn, with a decorative picture which he calls L’Enchantement de la Forêt—a group of statuesque-looking girls under a blue-to-emerald sky, set among trees and rocks and sapphire water, while all around falls the golden red light of the setting sun.

The Magazine of Art, Review of The New Gallery, 1901

A couple of decorative pictures by Mr W. G. von Glehn, The Crowning of Venus and The Garden, are both good examples of the idealistic treatment of the nude, a phase of art to which too little attention has been paid lately. Well composed, animated, bright and buoyant in tone, they show that it is possible to adopt classical conventions without being conventional.

The Connoisseur, Review of the 1914 NEAC show

Captain de Glehn enjoys himself thoroughly in his watercolours of Paris, Versailles, & co. For him there is nothing but the vivid moment… we feel the strength and delicacy of form through all the flashes and washes of colour.

The Times, April 12, 1919

His paintings of the nude…have an attractive, sensuous quality, warm and at the same time blithe and innocent.

The Times, May 31, 1930

Wherever I looked, whether portraits or landscapes, I felt a sense of freshness and pleasure and was more than ever impressed by the versatility of your masterly work.

Duveen to Wilfrid de Glehn, 1st June, 1935

In him was embodied the internationalism of friendship and of art which knows no boundaries.

Mr. Robert Sherwood, Obituary, The Times, 1951
