The merits and limitations of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model as a model for strong interactions at nonzero density are critically discussed. We present several examples, demonstrating that, while in general the results should not be trusted quantitatively, the NJL model is a powerful theoretical tool for getting new insights and ideas about the QCD phase diagram and the dense-matter equation of state.
