PENTHOUSE MAGAZINE: "Folk hasn't been this fun since Dylan went electric." (April, 2008)

BLENDER MAGAZINE named "Cock in the Pussy" one of the Top 100 Songs of 2004.

VILLAGE VOICE (Amy Phillips): “[other bands] could learn a lot about songwriting from Cock Lorge, who plays Lite FM ditties with stupid/brilliant lyrics like ‘cock in the pussy/my cock’s in your pussy, baby.’ That’s an entire song.”

DIG THIS REAL: "If you have not had the pleasure, and I do mean PLEAS-URE of listening to the release I WANT YOU from Cock Lorge, well you just haven’t experienced true sex, music and rock n roll... Cock Lorge is stylistic and on the cusp of something big... its easy to find yourself walking around singing the songs (and wanting sex!) because they are so ferociously likable, memorable and aggressively touching. . . this is a MUST HAVE in your CD collection."

SPLENDID: "[Cock Lorge have] Ween's sense of ironic juxtaposition . . . threading their lovingly rehashed lowbrow humor with A-plus arrangements that impress with both their simplicity and their sheer addictiveness. These guys aren't even serious about trying to make you laugh; the only thing they care about is getting a chord progression stuck in your head for weeks."

ALPHABET CITY RADIO: Features Cock Lorge on its list of best indie bands to see in New York City. "Pornographic songs that don't take themselves seriously with great melodies."

INDIE911.com describes Cock as a "pornographic Neil Young with heart and hilarity."

PAUL GAITA/SLEAZEGRINDER: "Cock Lorge is smart enough to not take himself seriously in the least, and instead devotes his material to poking fun at overheated pop metaphors and dick-swinging attitudes in general. . . .His songs are also insidiously catchy, so be prepared to explain to your co-workers why you’ve been singing 'Cock in the Pussy' under your breath for the entire day."
