"Weirder than TMBG and less sinister than Miss Pussycat, the Monsterface dudes are about as close to the early magic of Henson (not Hanson: HENSON) as you're likely to come across in these parts...the dadaist fake-children's-music ... you've been dreaming about. If you take yourself too seriously to fall in love with this band, seek help. " - Boston Phoenix
"...equal parts GWAR, Jim Henson, and rock opera..."-The Charlottesville Hook
"Uncle Monsterface is a multi-media experience, a term that does the surreal phenomenon that is this band no justice...If sock puppets, psychedelic prairie dogs and inflatable lobsters arent your thing, you should probably move along." - musicpost.com
"...what's more fun than a hand in a sock? This is music deemed appropriate for both adults and tykes, although there's nothing childish about the music...excpet that there are sock puppets involved..." - The Boston Globe
