With
Loup Garou,
Willie Deville explored new rhythmic and melodic territory, experimenting with cajun and mariachi music. Not all of the songs work -- frequently,
Deville sounds too nervous and studied to really break free and have fun with the material -- but it nevertheless is enjoyable, with enough strong songs (especially "You'll Never Know," a duet with
Brenda Lee) to make it worthwhile for longtime
Deville followers. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
