Entertainment Weekly

Like pals My Morning Jacket, Dr. Dog blend ''classic rock'' elements into woozy, idiosyncratic songs all their own.

All Music Guide

We All Belong is a little bit cleaner and dressed a little bit nicer than "Easy Beat," but the rustic appeal of the music still comes through loud and clear.

Alternative Press

We All Belong is phenomenally consistent.

Delusions of Adequacy

Everything comes together in a melting pot of rock and pop that is both delightful and intriguing. It has melodies, smart and quirky lyrics, and the band features some unique musicianship that is executed well.

Village Voice

They're totally authentic about being inauthentic. Like Guitar Bob, that makes them easy to love.

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Spend any time with We All Belong's winning songs about wonderment, disappointment, and packing up and moving on and you'll find a lot of work.

Rolling Stone

Even when a sense of agitation seeps in, as on 'Die, Die, Die,' We All Belong sounds truly inviting. Dig it.

Sputnikmusic

While the most fitting genre to place Dr. Dog’s latest, We All Belong , in may be Indie-Pop, the 12 songs that make it up don’t sound a whole lot like The Shins or Death Cab for Cutie. We All Belong instead sounds like an album that was buried in Brian Wilson’s backyard for 40 or so years.

Prefix Magazine

Ultimately, We All Belong hints at the band's innocuousness. Nothing here offends, but there's nothing anywhere near compelling, either.

Pitchfork

Hold it by its edges and the experience of this album suffers––the rocky center is where we find personal truths writ well.

PopMatters

Dr. Dog simply doesn’t offer us anything new, or anything else worth listening to.

Austin Chronicle

While the album revels in retro cross-pollination, and the title track's dream that "It won't be long before we all belong to love," echoes Lennon's counterpoint of responsibility throughout, Dr. Dog's zealous frivolity is infectious but ultimately fleeting.

The Phoenix

Those vocal harmonies are used to good effect in the blue-eyed-soul tune 'Alaska.' But 'Die Die Die,' a slow and raggedy piece of psychedelia complete with funereal organ but thrown askew by out-of-place handclaps, is far too taken in by its own gloom.

An almost perfect album that over time has become perfect.

Cindy S. gave it a10:
This is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time.

Craig S. gave it a10:
If you're in a band and hold the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Zombies as your cornerstones, then this album (and band) is for you.

Mark G gave it a10:
The Band meets the Beach Boys in Sonic Heaven.

Ilya R gave it an8:
The joyous piano finale to "Old News", the album's first song, is a perfect microcosm of what's to come on the album. These aren't just uniquely catchy and happy songs, but there is a musical consistency that shows why this album is worthwhile from start to finish. Pay attention to when the bass and the piano are in sync - those are some of the best moments on the album. Anyway, these guys bring out the best of the hopeful, quirky and energetic interplays of 60s classic rock, and the dog's cameos, though more sporadic this time out, are still a delight.
