"After nine albums, it takes effort to make a record that sounds as vibrant as this, without losing the very basis of your original appeal. Calexico have managed it".

"Even more than its predecessors, the band's impassioned ninth album, The Thread That Keeps Us, is dedicated to immigrant experiences and the pains of displacement. As always, Calexico are more interested in storytelling than grandstanding, but it's hard to miss the role that border politics and environmental disasters play in the band's latest batch of character sketches and vignettes. This is an album that pointedly humanizes the disenfranchised people whose voices are too often shut out of policy debates".

"By turns gentle and bold, traditional and boundary-pushing, The Thread That Keeps Us is another fine example of Calexico's ever-broadening horizons".

"Det mexikanske swinger utraditionelt sammen med reggaerytmer på 'Under the Wheels', og 'Flores y Tamales' lyder som et møde mellem Tom Waits og Los Lobos. Calexico har igennem et længere samarbejde med Iron & Wine fundet sin egen niche i periferien af melodisk indierock. Calexico mangler kronisk den helt store profil, men holder fint sin stil".
