"McMurtry has become a mainstay at the Americana Music Association's awards show with Childish Things (2005) winning best Americana album and Just Us Kids (2008) being nominated. The new album doesn't have the political commentary that we saw on those two, but it's likely we're going to see Complicated Game on the nominee list come next year. It's that good".

"... McMurtry has learned the art of effortlessly selling his songs, both in terms of his vocals and his interplay with the studio band. The difference between the guy who made 1989's Too Long in the Wasteland and the man who cut Complicated Game is the more mature McMurtry has figured out how to deliver the fine songs he writes and get their qualities on tape, and Complicated Game confirms he's not only remembered this valuable lesson, he's finding new ways to refine what he knows, and this album is another triumph for one of America's most rewarding tunesmiths".
