"A grand step up from the underrated New Yorkers ... A mere 17 months later, the New Yorkers are back with its follow-up, and they haven't let that injustice affect them. 'Street Safari' cherry-picks the best bits of its predecessor and builds on them until it reaches something even better".

"New-wavers' new groove ... Everywhere you listen, a picture emerges of a band emerging from dark times with dynamism and dancefloor dash intact. There's limber funk (Metrotech, Lost In The Game), falsetto slow jams (Told You Too Much), and rollicking Ramones-ian garage swagger (Rough Boy). Best of all, Meltdown channels The Cars via 1984- era Van Halen with open-topped retro-romanticism. Even kids who don't like rock'n'roll might find this infectious invitation hard to resist".
