"...up to now, readers looking for a philosophically sensitive commentary on the work in English have had nowhere to turn...Susan Sauvé Meyer has begun to fill this lacuna with her excellent volume on Books I-II, a work that will put all serious students of the Laws into her considerable debt. It should also lead us to look forward eagerly to her continuation of the project in a future volume on Books III-V." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online

"Overall, the commentary is excellent. Anyone familiar with the Clarendon Plato Series will know what to expect. Meyer provides a useful guide to main issues of contention in the secondary literature, as well as outlining difficult parts of the text. Although Meyer's commentary does not stay neutral on these debates, it does appreciate the various stances taken. The bibliography is extensive and includes a variety of different sources. This is an excellent book. In my opinion, it is currently the best English translation of Books 1 and 2 of the Laws. Meyer's book will greatly help readers sort out the various difficult and obscure passages that pervade these two books." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"Meyer's will be indispensable to anyone who wants seriously to engage with the arguments of the Laws." --The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition
