Allmusic[2]

In her review for Allmusic, Joslyn Layne observed "With a perfect mixture of a sincere love of music, wit, and serious chops, they create a new klezmer that draws from jazz, rock, and improvised traditions. Melt Zonk Rewire is full of creativity, with high energy and grooves tastefully offset by subdued, whispery pieces... essential for anyone whose music collection holds many disparate musical styles".[2]
