"'Dropkick Murphys minder lidt om The Pogues, der var ganske store i 80'erne, tilsat en ordentlig omgang adrenalin og amfetamin ... På '11 Stories of Pain & Glory' er tempoet dog generelt skruet en tak ned. Der er ganske fine sange indimellem, men det er ikke ligefrem en orkan af energi, der drøner igennem albummet 38 minutter ... Alt i alt er '11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory' et udspil, der aldrig helt rammer et højt niveau, men som nok vil sikre nogle nye sange til sætlisten på næste turné".

"On Dropkick Murphys' ninth full-length, 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory, the Boston staples smooth their edges with some restraint, delivering triumphant anthems and some surprisingly heartfelt expressions. At this point in their careers, the boys are experts at what they do: Pogues-meets-Rancid singalongs for working-class Southie rabble to soundtrack evenings of booze-soaked revelry and camaraderie".
