    Four albums into their career and Dengue Fever show no signs of running short of ideas. They continue to blend an expanding catalogue of global influences with intuitive ease, into music that's fun and entertaining but also has a heart.

    ["2012 (Bury Our Heads)" is] a brief downer and nestled among a clutch of songs that demonstrate how far the band has come since their 2003 debut. [May 2011, p.107]

    Cannibal Courtship is easily Dengue Fever's most consistent, sophisticated, and accessible recording to date, and one that should, with any luck, net them more than a few new fans.

    Slinky, sultry, sophisticated--the multidimensional Dengue Fever will make love to your inner indie rocker.

    Dengue Fever come on like an art-trash cross between Talking Heads and X, with a crucial side order of B-52's. Their irreverent pop clinches the deal on "Cement Slippers." [Jun 2011, p.80]

    By the time the hypnotic, moody "Durian Dowry" unfolds, it's clear that the accomplish sextet of Dengue Fever is long overdue for a breakout. [May 2011, p.84]

    Opting to produce themselves on this latest studio album happily hasn't dimmed their offbeat charm; it's a tuneful, diverse and often witty addition to their discography.

    While the sextet refine their surf-rockin' exotica, Nimol's wonderful Khmer-language covers are missed.

    Cannibal Courtship once again proves that Dengue Fever is far more than tacky exotica, even when it can't shake a few irritating personality tics.
