"I think there are really only two kinds of pop music CDs these days. There are the ones you listen to only once or twice, maybe downloading the single good song to your iPod or computer; then there are others that grow stronger, sweeter, and more necessary each time you play them. 'Gold' was that way; 'Cold Roses' was that way; so was 'Jacksonville City Nights'. I won't say Adams is the best North American singer-songwriter since Neil Young…but I won't say he isn't, either. What I know is there has never been a Ryan Adams record quite as strong and together as 'Easy Tiger'."
- Stephen King
"'Easy Tiger' seems to prove that Adams is once again as in touch with the delicate tragedies of life and love as he's ever been."
- Rolling Stone
"Easy, Tiger… may yet rank as one of his best… It distils his many influences and sources to a key triumvirate: sad country; even sadder pop; and whiskey-soaked mid-tempo rock… Ah, yes, he's good that Ryan Adams. There's no point debating it."
