"Former guitarist for roots heroes the Blasters, Alvin fills his 11th album with small towns, highways and losers we imagine he's encountered on countless tours." - Rolling Stone
"Eleven Eleven is Alvin’s first album of original new material since Ashgrove, seven years ago, and mixes to great effect the rowdy road-house blues of his work with regular touring band The Guilty Men and the more poised and reflective Blackjack David, revisiting along the way many of the themes he’s remained constant to over the years... Brilliant stuff." 4 stars - Uncut
"Dave Alvin's latest album may be his best yet, its tales of the flipside of the American Dream set to gritty blues riffs that speak of long months on the road." 4/5 - The Independent
"A lot happens on Eleven Eleven - all of it good." 4 stars - Mojo
"Alvin sounds like he is having fun, even when he's singing a sad song. He's a true troubadour, in the best sense of the word." 8/10 - Pop Matters
"On Eleven Eleven, Dave Alvin continues his transformation from journeyman musician to becoming one of the people he always idolized." 4 stars - American Songwriter
