His translation is often celebrated for its literary quality and fidelity to the original text, drawing in readers to Proust's intricate world of memory and experience. Moncrieff's passion for literature was evident in his critical writings and his contributions to various literary journals, where he explored themes of modernism and the intricacies of human relationships.

Beyond his work on Proust, Moncrieff was also involved in translating other significant literary works and was a prominent figure in the literary circles of his time. His translations and writings have influenced many subsequent authors and translators, helping to introduce complex European literature to the English-speaking world.
