If you are riding a compact frame worry otherwise, comfort is the final arbiter. If you are worried take it back to the dealer and ask him why he sized the bike the way he did (or she). There are a number of books that can take you through some sizing issues. Lennard Zinn's book "Zinn and the Art of Roadbike Maintenance" have a chapter on bike fit. It is a very good book on maintenance and care for bikes.
