In 2021 the book was praised by Palaguta and Starkova in Terra Artis. Art and Design. In their review, they stated that the problem of creating a basis for systematizing patterns on the principles of symmetry was solved in Symmetries of Culture. They give three reasons for continuing to value the book: firstly, despite the passage of time, the book is still valid and useful; secondly, since the release of the book, the authors have done a great deal to attract new workers into the field; and thirdly, in recent years, interdisciplinary research on symmetry and ornamentation has increased, and the interest in this topic has grown among both anthropologists and art historians, which greatly broadens the readership of the book.
