This is Electric Six's strongest work to date, and the fans who have stuck with them through their trials and tribulations won't be disappointed.

BlenderSubmit to these tongue-in-cheek disco-rock readymades and it's as if you're hearing irony and an ass-kicking backbeat for the very first time. [Mar 2006, p.112]
-
It isn't the wall-to-wall bull's-eye of Fire, but it still has hits.
-
SpinHas moments of cheese-ball grace. [Mar 2006, p.95]
-
Senor Smoke, luckily, is catchy and fun enough that the lyrics don’t entirely sink the album.
-
There are some truly great moments on "Senor Smoke".
-
UncutMileage left in the gag yet. [Apr 2005, p.108]
-
Half the time, we get songs of ambiguous quality, with more filler lines than killer ones, a big change from Fire's all-or-nothing approach.... But when everything comes together, the results are massively more rewarding than anything on Fire.
-
This album drops four consecutive hard rock stinkbombs to kick things off... Senor Smoke's saddest aspect, however, is its yearning for another dance-floor single.
-
Most of these tracks stumble around Dick Valentine's wacky lyrics, and the limited karaoke-style production only cheapens the equation.
-
Q MagazineIt's marooned in novelty. [Apr 2005, p.121]
-
Señor Smoke suffers from nothing more then a total lack of discernable hooks to balance out the glaringly juvenile lyrics, cheese-filled synthesizers, and schlock-rock guitar stylings.
-
Difficult second album? In a way. In that it's difficult to listen to it without smashing your CD player to make it stop.
