Мішанчук М.І. сваім вучэбным дапаможніку Беларускага дзяржаўнага педагагічнага універсітету ім. М. Танка дае гэтакі водзыў: "Рыгор Крушына – паэт-эксперыментатор, сапраўдны майстар, ‘віртуоз’ вершаскладання, які прадоўжыў намаганні Максіма Багдановіча па наданню нашаму мастацтву слова сусветнай вартасці і значнасці."
