Reviews4 Stars - Excellent - "...no-one could doubt its infectious aplomb and unmistakable majesty. Few albums have that lyrical twist and economic use of rhythm that make them instantly replayable, anthemic and easily defendable in a million pub arguments. EXIT THE DRAGON has it all...", Recommended - "...For a while there, it seemed like their hearts were so well hidden behind an irony-clad facade....With EXIT THE DRAGON, the Urge have peeled off that psychic armour. Remorse and regret, bewilderment and loss loom large....It's the best thing they've ever done...", 7 - Flawed Yet Worthy - "...They're more Josie and the Pussycats than Spinal Tap--cartoon rock scouring the U.S.A. in their convertible searching for the perfect martini....EXIT THE DRAGON is a well-executed spin of the dial on a radio time machine...", Ranked #38 on Melody Maker's List of 1995's 'albums of the Year.', 9 (out of 10) - "...EXIT THE DRAGON marks the point where they cease being a cartoon band....Soul and psychedelic influences which have always underpinned their riffola are explicit this time....limping, strung out soul searchers...hit home...", Ranked #21 in Nme's 'top 50 Albums of the Year' for 1995., "...among the few bands to parlay its retrophilia into fresh and forward-thinking sound....EXIT is an album in the contemporary tradition of buoyant pop with serious, often dark lyrics....in general, Urge avoids getting mired in gloomy Generation X ennui...", "On their fifth album, Urge Overkill completely drop any alternative-rock pretenses and become what they've always aspired to be--successors to Grand Funk, the Guess Who, and other wonderfully cheese-ball AM-radio classic-rock bands..." - Rating: B+
