"Probably the most inventive irish album this decade. Brimming with energy and exoticness." -4/5 stars Sunday Tribune - Sunday Tribune
"Super Extra Bonus Party kick out the jams with a barrage of magnificent sounds and shapes... There's clattering electro, hypnotic indie-pop drones, a bit of dreamy ambience, a belt of dirty hip hop rudeboyisms, and moments where all of the above appear to come perfectly together in one very deep and wide soundclash. "4/5 stars- Irish Times - Irish Times
“Can the best dance album of the year really have originated from Newbridge in Kildare? It’s hard to quibble with the evidence: Super Extra Bonus Party’s self titled LP is a jazzed-up electro triumph featuring snatches of hip-hop and funk. The results are beautifully daft and completely original.” - Irish Independent - Irish Independent
“The crew behind the best Irish album of the year so far tear it up down south… Few Irish acts have produced an album as thrilling or as unclassifiable in recent years as Super Extra Bonus Party’s self titled debut… Live, as anyone who caught the band when they supported fellow madcat mischief-makers Bonde Do Role at the end of May will know, it holds together remarkably well.” - Irish Times - Irish Times
"The Kildare four-pieces debut is imbued with flaky charm. Super Extra Bonus Party are always eager to push their sound into strange new directions…You’ll be smitten from the start… Marvellous." – 4/5 stars Metro - Metro
"The schizophrenic sequencing and magpie eclecticism of Super Extra Bonus Party's debut is a joyous sign of the times. The mix CD sensibility leads us on an emotional, exhausting but ultimately satisfying journey. It begins, like many great records, with a rousing instrumental; a trumpet that pierces the silence, slippery cut-ups darting back and forth in the background, tropical percussion gets us on our feet..."- Foggy Notions - Foggy Notions
"A melting pot of sonic treats... contender for Irish album of the year" - (5/5 stars), The Star - The Star
