  1. Green's past albums have all been enjoyable affairs. This one, however, is a masterpiece.
  2. Come and pay homage to the new Lounge Lizard King.

    Blessed with a baritone unmatched in modern pop, he delivers 15 exquisite ditties. [May 2006, p.108]

    Green is a one-man game of musical consequences, mismatched but endlessly fascinating. [May 2006, p.124]
  5. It’s pleasantly like listening to a lost Bobby Darin or Andy Williams recording session where they took the wrong medication for shits and giggles.
  6. Musically and melodically, this is the best work Green has ever done (even counting The Moldy Peaches -- which isn't to suggest for a second that Jacket is the superior record). Lyrically, though, it's the same old Adam Green bullshit.
  7. The aggressively banal orchestral arrangements and cornball baritone make Jacket Full of Danger something like a rakish Scott Walker for the post-Beck era.
