All Music Guide
An 11-song set of dusty, horn-laden, highway driving, drink-spilling heartache that stands as the group's most solid piece of work to date.

Alternative Press
It seems that Crooked Fingers have solidified their sound regardless of how schizophrenic Forfeit/Fortune may seem. [Jan 2008, p.124]

Under The Radar
Though not steady enough to be a classic, Forfeit/ Fortune is one of the better records of the year. [Winter 2008]

Spin
He still operates un the shadow of his semi-seminal indie rocjk outfit, due to an inconsistency that also plagues Forfeit/Fortune. [Nov 2008, p.89]

Filter
Overall, Forfeit/Fortune feels too much like a collection of songs that were thrown together without thought or directoion. [Fall 2008, p.99]
52
Pitchfork
So among Forfeit/Fortune's many misses, Bachmann can't help but hit a few.

50
PopMatters
It is still an album that could have been so much more.

Prefix Magazine
The choice tracks, the tracks that redeem an otherwise eternally frustrating album are 'Cannibals' and 'Modern Dislocation.'
