Rolling Stone
Their new album has all the power and energy of the first LP, but is more subtle, more intricate and much more effective.

Slant Magazine
2007 - While The Doors had more frequent, obvious peaks, the quirky Strange Days is a more ambitious, unified work.
-
All Music
For that reason, the band's second effort isn't as consistently stunning as their debut, though overall it's a very successful continuation of the themes of their classic album.

Strange Days is a more twisted and mature offering.

Sputnik Music
2006 - “Strange Days” brings us the dark and evil sound that the Doors can posses, while at the same time, maintains the theme the Doors have throughout all of their albums.

2017 - The Doors' Strange Days did not have the cultural or commercial impact of the iconic band's eponymous debut earlier that halcyon year. And that's all the more regrettable because, in purely artistic terms, this second album is superior in (almost) every way.

Pop Matters
2018 - The Doors' 1967 follow-up didn't match the success of their self-titled debut, but Strange Days excelled in delivering a much better overall record that documents the band's experimentation and musicianship.

2014 - While the album has a lot of blues influence, it does showcase some innovative sounds for its time.
