[[Marvin L. Cohen]] and [[Morrel H. Cohen]], in an obituary for Kittel in 2019, remarked that the original book "was not only the dominant text for teaching in the field, it was on the bookshelf of researchers in academia and industry throughout the world",<ref name=cohenObit>{{Cite journal|last1=Cohen|first1=Marvin L.|last2=Cohen|author1-link=Marvin L.

They also noted that Kittel's content choices played a large role in defining the field of [[solid-state physics]].<ref name=cohenObit />
The book is a classic textbook in the subject and has seen use as a comparative benchmark in the reviews of other books in condensed matter physics.<ref name=chambersAlt>{{Cite journal|last=Chambers|first=R.

Chambers]] noted that there were not many textbooks covering these topics, as "since 1953, Kittel's classic ''Introduction to Solid State Physics'' has dominated the field so effectively that few competitors have appeared", noting that the third edition continues that legacy. Before continuing, the reviewer noted that the book was too long for some uses and that less thorough works would be welcome.<ref name=chambersAlt />
