==Critical reception== The ''[[Los Angeles Times]]''{{'}}s Robert Hilburn wrote a critical review of the memoir, concluding: "Priscilla's intent here no doubt was to share her love for her late husband, but the book is little more than a carnival curio in what has become the sideshow called Elvis. The larger question raised by the book is the obligation survivors have to famous loved ones. One rule of thumb may be this paraphrase on the old saw: 'If you can't say anything significant, don't say anything at all.{{' "}}<ref>{{cite news|last=Hilburn|first=Robert|date=September 22, 1985|title=Elvis and Me|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|location=Los Angeles, California|page=6}}</ref> Broox Sledge of the ''Enterprise-Journal'' wrote that, "If Elvis is your idol, perhaps you would be happier not reading ''Elvis and Me'' [...] Priscilla has taken her late husband and presented him to the world, warts and all. Some of the warts are attractive. Some are splotchy."<ref>{{cite news|last=Sledge|first=Broox|date=October 23, 1985|title='Elvis and Me' shows good, bad|newspaper=Enterprise-Journal|location=McComb, Mississippi|page=11}}</ref> In her review of the book for the ''[[Tallahassee Democrat]]'', Dannye Romine discussed the concept of [[Peter Pan syndrome]], opining that, "[[Peter Pan]] Presley was clearly an emotionally impetuous man-child who never grew up and Priscilla was oh-such-an adoring [[Wendy Darling|Wendy]] who never encouraged him to grow up."<ref>{{cite news|last=Romine|first=Dannye|date=October 6, 1985|title='Elvis and Me' a quick trip to Never-never land|newspaper=[[Tallahassee Democrat]]|location=Tallahassee, Florida|page=8G}}</ref>
