Mar 22, 2023While I can see what Mac was trying to achieve here continuing in the direction that Here Comes the Cowboy was doing, it was somewhat underwhelming as nothing really stood out. Despite that, Five Easy Hot Dogs does create a more luscious and easygoing atmosphere that fills in for the absence of vocals. It’s still a nice listen though but leaves you wishing there was more to it.

Jan 25, 2023This was extremely disappointing and sounded cheap. It almost sounded like a fan making a "Mac Demarco type beat" on youtube.

Jan 21, 2023This album is so beautiful I love it so much it’s amazing more people need to listen to this album multiple times and I have listened to it twice in 2 days!

Jan 20, 2023As a fan of Mac's prior instrumental outings, this album was a nice surprise. Definitely not as lively as Some Other Ones, but that's ok. It's different, and I'm glad to see an artist continue to try different things. Also nice to have some more Mac instrumentals on streaming services as well.

MojoFeb 22, 2023This is no holding exercise. Instead, think beautifully conceived curio. [Apr 2023, p.85]

UncutFeb 15, 2023Despite the scattered and itinerant nature of the process, there's a pleasing coherence and warmth to the record. [Apr 2023, p.26]

Jan 23, 2023‘Five Easy Hot Dogs’ isn’t going to win DeMarco any more fans, nor will it distract from his past triumphs. ... This instrumental offering will, like most of his tunes, act as great company for those who just wanna lay back and disconnect from it all.
