PITCHFORK

Paradoxically passionate but controlled, uncompromising but instantly likable, All Eternals Deck is a certain career highlight for Darnielle.

TINY MIX TAPES

In many ways, All Eternals Deck, his greatest work since 2005's The Sunset Tree, is the perfect final album, fixated on death, legacy, survival, and an uncertain future.

MUSICOMH

All Eternals Deck is a thankful reminder that when a real talent is given the time and space to flower, the rewards will be reaped further down the line.

POPMATTERS

Darnielle seems to be pushing himself here more so than any album since The Sunset Tree.

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

Eternals is not a Death Metal record in the slightest, but easily the most bandy album in the Mountain Goats discography.

NO RIPCORD

This album is hard work, but, inch by wretched inch, it becomes worthwhile.
