In her article for the Concord, New Hampshire Monitor, Victoria Shouldis writes: "There is a certain music to photographs by Ronald Hurwitz: a rhythm and symmetry to “Café, Lait, Bière”, a portrait from 2000 with its perfect four chairs, two tables and, espied inside the door, a lone character. Or in his 1985 mirrored-image of New York's Chrysler Building, the shadows and light reflecting a perfect double chorus."

From the Toronto Star, Sunday, January 25, 2004, Bill Taylor, Feature writer for the Toronto Star, interviewed Ronald Hurwitz for his column, Toronto Profile #15, The People who Make the City.

Though he has a couple of Toronto projects in mind, his favorite place to shoot is Paris where, influenced by the work of Brassaï, Eugène Atget, and Édouard Boubat, he imparts a haunting, pre-war feel to the modern city".
