Critical reading in various fields reveals the efficiency and effectiveness of the text under study for the audience and explains the positive and negative features of the text, because the critical attitude is a constructive origin that the existing gaps are shortcomings. The subject of literary criticism in the land of Andalusia has received less attention from literary critics and analysts. Perhaps the reason for this is the scarcity of cash resources published in this literary period so that a clear picture of it in the mind of the researcher. Among the works that have studied the history of literary criticism in this period is the book History of Literary Criticism in Andalusia by Mohammad Rezwan al-Daya, a professor at the University of Damascus. Since this work has been a pioneer in the field of studying the status of literary criticism in the Andalusian period, and despite writing more extensive and accurate works, it deserves criticism and review .Some of the work, let's evaluate the book. In the process of research, we came to the conclusion that the use of reliable and first-hand sources and sometimes manuscripts, elaboration of the subject and expression of the history of literary criticism and theories and critical approaches of this period are among the strengths of this work. Not paying attention to choosing a correct scientific research method and not having brevity, formal errors, typographical and writing errors are the weaknesses of this work. This work suffices only with the history of literary criticism in this period and refers to the theories and views of writers and critics from the side of their critical and rhetorical works and does not penetrate into the deeper layers of the problem
