"The Cult of Ray could easily be seen as a transition record between the eclectic rockers of his previous output to the more laidback records that Black has released recently. This album is not for everyone but then again this could easily be said about most of Black’s solo work. And even with all the so-so’s this album is given, it still has the catchiness that will sate most fans of Frank Black."
