Auberon Waugh bol známy svojimi ostrými a často provokatívnymi komentármi k britskej spoločnosti. Jeho písanie sa vyznačovalo suchým humorom a neochvejným zmyslom pre iróniu. Waugh sa často zameriaval na pokrytectvo a absurdity moderného života a jeho dielo skúmalo témy triedy, politiky a morálky s nekompromisnou úprimnosťou. Čitatelia oceňujú jeho schopnosť odhaľovať pravdu s iskrou a inteligenciou.
