The Black Angels have received widespread praise for their musical capability:

“Creating some of the most incendiary, reverb-laden and drone-orientated rock and roll in recent years” -  Drowned In Sound

"Finding a sweet spot between the old (13th Floor Elevators) and the not-so old (Spacemen 3, and the Jesus & Mary Chain)" - Rolling Stone Magazine

“[The Black Angels] play psychedelic rock as if the 1960s never ended, and they are absolute masters of it.” - New York Times (Live Review)
