"On his eighth album, the singer-songwriter connects his gentle, acerbic soul to his most politically charged, well-stated, and funniest songs".

" There's a lot here that's really terrific, where the oddness of the lyrics and the mood of the music match perfectly and disconcertingly, as on In a Chinese Alley. But the missteps, when they come, are jarringly horrible".

"Cass McCombs has been demonstrating the Talmudic songcraft ambition of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen for more than a decade, quietly accruing fans, including many of his indie peers. His latest shows a low-key master at work, and not in a bubble".

"Mangy Love, his eighth album, now finds him on the Anti- label and like the title suggests, it shows divergent aspects of Cass, at his most subtle, resonant, and resplendent, and at others, his most maddeningly repetitive and scabby ... But when he's distilling the inexplicable sadness of everyday life, there's none better".

"Med sin klippefaste røst og rødvinsplettede blues skruer McCombs op for den politiske varme, hvor blodet flyder og der ligger lig i sidegaderne. Med surrealistiske tekster og uforudsigelige musikalske drejninger mod både calypso, psychedelia eller soft rock er Cass McCombs stadig et fantastisk sidespor at forsvinde ud ad. Og vende klogere og rigere tilbage fra".

"Cass McCombs er ikke kommet for at overmande os med sin musik. De stemningsfulde, forskelligartede sange får lov til at hvile i sig selv, og de formår ofte at overbevise på grund af de gennemarbejdede arrangementer. Det travle øre, der zapper igennem albummet, vil måske kalde materialet for pop. Den, der tager sig god tid, vil ende i et smil og med at tænke tilbage på velproduceret og radiovenlig amerikansk rock fra 1970'erne, hvor der blev kræset om de mandlige vokale udtryk, så det var en sand fornøjelse".

"En ganske fremragende undersøgelse af eksistensens skyggesider".
