‘Is é Cathal Ó Searcaigh an liriceoir is caoine agus is binne dá bhfuil againn. Labhrann sé linn i dteanga an choirp, i dteanga na samhlaíochta, i dteanga na healaíne atá greanta aige as caint a mhuintire agus as litríocht an domhain’
− Alan Titley, Scríbhneoirí faoi Chaibidil (Cois Life, 2010)
‘He is less a nature poet than a poet of human nature. His own poetic project has been to find, in the shape of his poetry, a way of restoring vigor to the Irish language’
− Wes Davis, An Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry (Harvard University Press, 2010)
‘Tá an Searcach ar dhuine de mhórfhilí an domhain. Ba thrua gan tairbhe a bhaint as a chuid buanna go léir’
− Gabriel Rosenstock, Comhar (Deireadh Fomhair, 2010)
‘His emotional range gathers us in with its unadulterated exhuberance, especially in his love poems’
− Liam Ó Muirthile, A New View of the Irish Language, edited by Seán Ó Cearnaigh and Caoilfhionn Nic Pháidín (Cois Life, 2008)
