"Benson writes about life's ups and downs. But musically this short (just over 30 minutes) yet taut collection delivers all the power pop goods you'll need. Perhaps if Benson's high profile Raconteurs work attracts more visibility to this solo project, we won't need to wait another seven years for a follow-up".

"On album seven, Brendan Benson has found a place of peace that he has been yearning for for a long while. The cynicism that once permeated his lyrics has been replaced by comfort, wonder, and delight, all of which make Dear Life a joy to listen to".

"As with all of his albums, his understated vocal arrangements are one of the guiding forces on Dear Life. It's exciting to hear Benson take some new risks with these songs, but also a relief that he never gets too far away from the deft songwriting and pop sensibilities that he's been refining for all these years".
