"One part Jimmy McGriff on Sue to three parts Soul Dressing-era Booker T and the MGs; a groovy Hammond driven rave up; the kind that would have had them jumping down the Flamingo. Fab stuff!"
-- Mojo Magazine

"Return of the Iron Monkey" is a record that unashamedly grooves, it pays tribute to the sound of the mighty Hammond and the great rhythm sections that inspired the band, a hint of the Meters, a slice of the MGs, and a whole lotta soul..." -- Modculture.co.uk
