"Sometimes there is the sense that he's not so much alchemising the past into something new as reminding you of other, rather better songs: Night Flight to Kabul and Dark Disco Jag might both make you want to seek out Sisters of Mercy's Dominion/Mother Russia instead. But, for the most part, Somebody's Knocking is triumphant. If open-heartedness isn't the term one would characteristically apply to Lanegan's output, however manifest his virtues, there's something boyishly excitable about this album that is very easy to warm to, not least because there appears to be no hint of trying to trying to be cool about it".

"One day, Lanegan will release a compilation of the best solo material he released in the post-Bubblegum years, and it will demonstrate beyond all doubt that these are the best albums he's ever made. Somebody's Knocking represents the point of no return - he's finally surpassed his past achievements, forgotten his past lives, cast off his old names and fully solidified his position as the pre-eminent ruler of the dark kingdom of gothic rock. Long live the King".

"Det [er] den karakteristiske røst, som former alt, hvad den amerikanske sanger Mark Lanegan rører ved ... Nu er han tilbage med et nyt soloalbum, som måske ikke kan måle sig med mesterværket 'Bubblegum' (2004) og det bedste fra tiden i bandet Screaming Trees, men der bliver leget med elektronik denne gang, og det er et klogt træk for Mark Lanegan, hvis udtryk ind imellem har det med at fremstå noget fastfrosset ... Kombinationen af rock og elektronik er yderst frugtbar på denne plade, som - i de bedste øjeblikke - leder tankerne hen på Mark Lanegans bidrag til mesterværket 'It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land' (2007) fra producerduoen Soulsavers".
