Rolling Stone
And short — he shouldn’t be straining the frail but frequently quite lovely melodies to five and six minutes, as he does on Songs of Love and Hate. But this record, alas, goes back to all the trash that cluttered up the first album — schlock horns, schlock strings, schlock chorus — as if to make of it a style. […]

Pitchfork
It’s also a more blatantly depressive album than the first two, lacking hopeful equanimityand does indeed reflect a period of great depression and uncertainty in Cohen’s life. […]
