Sep 28, 2012These 13-songs-in-35-minutes, cut half in 2008 when he was drunk and half in 2010 when he was sober, are shockingly strong for the first eight or nine, which unfortunately include all the drunk ones.

Q MagazineAug 3, 2012The singer's greasy, street pimp-talking vocal style is sometimes at odds with The Sadies' cleaned-up garage vibe, but if you can reconcile a 70-year old drug addict growling: "I like my rum, cos I got no teeth, I let it flow over my gums"... with fiddle-led folk rock and surf guitar, then Night & Day will push all your buttons and then some.

MojoJul 19, 2012The album is at its rawest and most dynamic on such garage tracks as I Gotta Get Shorty Out Of Jail and One-Eyed Jack. [Aug 2012, p.90]

Under The RadarJul 9, 2012Despite such guests as Jon Spencer and John Langford--and The Sadies themselves-you just want this to be better. [Jun 2012, p.151]

May 25, 2012Williams's gruff narratives are backed by one heck of a band. The Sadies, masterful songwriters in their own right, offer sizzling support. Their manic-rodeo sound and energy doesn't just serve as a backdrop, though. They seem at times to push Williams even further.

May 23, 2012Though it never feels disjointed, it never feels fully realized, either. In the end, it's hard to tell exactly what the album is aiming for, but taken as another rowdy set of tunes from a living legend, Night & Day delivers from both sides of whichever dichotomy it's grappling with at any given moment.

May 23, 2012This 30 minute set [provides] a crazed, occasionally unhinged yet always riveting experience.
-
May 23, 2012[Williams] remains agile, mobile and hostile as the Sadies choogle, twang and vamp behind him.
-
May 23, 2012Night and Day [is] another true testament by one of America's last genuine musical anti-heroes.
