| Who | What They Said |
|---|---|
| The Guardian | "Sheffield's loveliest band" |
| The Sun | "They stand on the brink of becoming the steel city's latest sensations" |
| Daily Telegraph | "Delightful indiepop." |
| The Mirror | "Roll over Charles Darwin and tell those musical evolutionists the news - there's yet more Sheffield Monkeys beside the Arctic variety." |
| Rough Trade | "These Sheffield kids are big big news. They have a sound that transports you back to the days of the late 80's and listening to John Peel religiously every night. It sounds like a mix of The Siddleys, Belle and Sebastian and Sarah Records." "We love monkey swallows the universe and so should you." |
| Stylus Magazine | "Nat Johnson and Kevin Gori wrap [Nat's] humane insight in a richly melodic web of acoustic guitar (they’re the best acoustic duo since Simon and Garfunkel). "This lot are something special." |
| Tasty Fanzine | "Sometimes a band comes along and gives you a few smiles. Sometimes a band comes along and makes you excited. And sometimes a band comes along and sweeps you off your feet. Monkey Swallows the Universe fit into the latter category with ease." |
| Drowned in Sound | "Capable of haunting, tear-prickling acoustic beauty...more than worthy of any - and everyone's respect and attention." |
| Sounds XP | "These simians know how to soothe even the most furrowed of brows. Lovely." |
| Sandman Magazine | "Astonishingly engaging songwriting" |
