| | Frank Black and the Catholics: Dog in the Sand - PopMatters Music Review |
 | | I couldn't help but draw comparisons as I listened, although every time I tried to come up with an approximation something would defy me. That, in my opinion, is the hallmark of a great album. |
 | | Strains of Johnny Cash, most definitely, other Western-tinged rock bands like Havana 3 A.M., and of course, the Pixies, keep bleeding through, but Black's ability to change gears, and find subtleties within a general sound, make this a chameleon of the desert. |
 | | Black's wit and intelligence are as sharp as ever, even if the total meanings of his lyrics remain as mysterious and open to interpretation as ever. |
