Chloë Ashby writes in The Times, 'The effect is at once playful and haunting, a ghostly meeting of places and time zones that poses questions about the meaning of home.'; Alastair Sooke in The Telegraph comments that Suh's 'yearning, spectral installations, addressing memory, are both formally ingenious and emotionally affecting'; Martin Robinson in The Standard notes that Suh's Rubbing/Loving: Seoul Home, 2013–22, is 'one of a number of jaw-dropping works here that look at space and time and how we carry places with us through our lives...'; while Eddy Frankel in The Guardian writes that the power of Suh's installations is in their evocation of memory: 'Those rooms, buildings, spaces are symbols of past joy, love, laughter, tears and arguments, every grimy student flat is a container of memory, every childhood bedroom is a place of history.'
