A fine summer record. "- Lincoln Journal-Star
"Reel Big Fish have returned with their seventh studio album ... made up of quirky, fun ska/punk rock with a whole lot of sarcasm and deliciously frosty anthems....'Candy Coated Fury' is cathartic and contains all the middle fingers that society won't allow you to display. One for the music collection."- MusicReview
"Reel Big Fish have come back in a big way with their new release "Candy Coated Fury". This album is everything I expected and more. The sound is tight, the hooks are great, and the instrumentation is superb. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the hilariously cruel lyrics and dancing along to the mind-blowingly infectious horns... you won't be able to get it out of your head."- Audio Arsenal

"It's been awhile since someone released a good ska punk record - thanks to Reel Big Fish for stepping up....chock full of everything that is quintessential ska. This album is mostly love songs, but bitter, angry, hateful love songs.
Aaron Barrett's vocals are in prime form, as is his guitar and the horn section adds depth and another dimension to the record..."- The Next Great Band

They've concocted a wondrous recipe for perfection- equal parts rumpshakin' ska and teenage punk rage wrapped in bluntly raunchy lyrics left to bake in Southern California heat."- Live High Five
