All Music Guide - Tim DiGravina
Waiter: You Vultures! is an album decidedly of its time. Its pretentious title, punctuated as if ripped from a screenplay, should give most listeners an idea of what to expect.

    Excellent

    This album is a must buy for 2006, it is rock, not punk, and pleasing to the ears. Delivery is unusual, you will find yourself humming the tunes.
