Mac DeMarco This Old Dog

3 stars out of 5 -- "He's best when he's more earnest, both lyrically and melodically, as on 'My Old Man,' a sweet shoulder shrug toward the harsh reality of turning into your dad."
"[I]t's some of his best music yet -- a reminder that casual people are capable of moving forward, instead of sticking in the same place."
"THIS OLD DOG is a subtle musical step forward....'Moonlight on the River' descends from wistful yacht-rock into a haze of psychedelic distortion."
4 stars out of 5 -- "He can be the good-time, goofy guy with a reputation that precedes him, or he can be an earnest songwriter with serious bite. THIS OLD DOG sees him conquering this more mature side, without even a shade of boring."
Clash (Magazine) - "THIS OLD DOG is not only the part-time prankster's longest and most acoustically-powered record, it's a shining testament to his evolution as a songwriter..."
