Critics have described the play as "not pleasant," with Frank Rich of The New York Times going on to write that "it sticks in the mind" in his 1984 review. In 2010, Naomi Skwama of Toronto's NOW Magazine described the play as "absorbing, but nearly unbearable in its intimacy – offering the sick pleasure that comes from reading a stranger’s diary." The play marked Kroetz' first venture into stark social realism, later followed by the critically successful Tom Fool (1978). Through the Leaves follows a lonely butcher, Martha, and her relationship with factory worker Otto. Through Martha's diary and her interactions with Otto, the audience discovers the pains of an unremarkable relationship in which neither party can relate with the other.
