Rolling Stone (3/10/94, p.65) - 3 Stars - Good - "...supercharged covers of the music that influenced them...fondly revisiting the proto-grunge of '60s gods...the rockers smoke, but it's the riskier picks that surprise..."Spin (2/94, p.72) - "...[ACID EATERS is] all '60s-punk cover versions ...[the] smartest songs...are about getting older, which the Ramones have been doing for years. But they're making more playable albums at this stage than anyone would've predicted...."Entertainment Weekly (1/14/94, p.54) - "...the Ramones have always been the ultimate '60s band. No surprise then that this collection of covers from that decade sounds like an aural love letter bashed out in a garage on a rainy day...." - Rating: A-Uncut (p.135) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]hey sound relaxed, melodic - easily their best album in a decade."Musician (2/94, p.74) - "...the Ramones' simplicity remains particularly deceptive...the Ramones toss away more hooks than most bands have in their repertoire...ACID EATERS [is] perhaps [the Ramones'] most perfectly realized effort...a non-stop compendium of grasp-and-hold anthems, rendered with loving devotion...."10.68662
