"...The Groovies are endless Saturday afternoons in someone's basement, right next to the ping pong table, and cheap Picasso prints....What they do is play deliciously simple rock and roll music....Get FLAMINGO and bop...", 7 out of 10 - "...fairly-pedestrian post-'50s garage idolatry, more failed Seeds than stoned Stones...", "...The Groovies are endless Saturday afternoons in someone's basement, right next to the ping pong table, and cheap Picasso prints....deliciously simple rock and roll music....Get FLAMINGO and bop...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...It can still make heads spin. Heads-down rockers such as 'Gonna Rock Tonite' and 'Headin' For The Texas Border' propel FLAMINGO ever-forward in searing fashion...", "...boasts two masterpieces ('Coming After Me', and 'Second Cousin') and a lovably loopy rockabilly aesthetic....you've got all the ingredients for a Groovies kind of love." - Rating: A-, 3 out of 5 - "...Simultaneously maturing and regressing, they embraced outrageous original material written by bandleaders Roy Loney and Cyril Jordan....the Groovies were retro-rock/proto-punk icons who inspired groups like the Cramps...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The band turned their amps up to 11, stripped back their style and unleashed an uncontrollable flamethrower of energy.", 3 Stars Out of 5-"...A Sound Parked Midway between Pub Rock and Power Pop...", "...Garage R&B Speed-Freaks Should Sample this Album..."
