Saki es considerado un maestro del relato corto, a menudo comparado con O. Henry y con Dorothy Parker. Sus personajes están finamente dibujados y sus elegantes tramas han recibido muy buenas críticas. Saki describió (More) incomparablemente a sus contemporáneos de la clase media victoriana, tan estrictos en sus maneras y amantes de absurdas fórmulas y rutinas. Su sentido del humor, cáustico e irónico, era muy apreciado por Jorge Luis Borges, quien lo situaba al lado de Kipling y Thackeray, como uno de los ingleses ilustres nacidos en Oriente.
