some hardcore fans will pine for the monolithic sound of Machine Head, but on Bananas Deep Purple sound comfortable, free to do what they want, and more than the sum of their parts than they have in a long, long time.

Metal Reviews
A great new album that is both hard rocking and catchy and full of classic Ian Gillan's witty and funny phrasing all mixed in with the powerful drumming of Ian Paice and the tight bottom end by Roger Glover.

However Bananas is certainly their worst album and one that is impossible for this lifelong Purple fan to defend.

King Crimson Blog
2011 - In all honesty, Bananas is one of the best Deep Purple albums, it isn’t just good for a band this late in their career, you don’t have to lower your expectations to enjoy it.

Metal Express Radio
2015 - Bananas is a well crafted record with loads of musical variety and spice, and proves that you can age gracefully.

Bananas is an excellent record. It's an album for every occasion.

Rarebird's Rock and Roll Rarity Reviews
a fine addition to the Purple canon, and was a good start for the Mk VIII era

Rough Edge
perhaps their best studio CD since 1984's "Perfect Strangers ... Fans of Deep Purple will find plenty to go "Bananas" about on this CD.

Ultimate Classic Rock
Everything about Deep Purple’s 17th studio album was just wrong.

John McFerrins Music Reviews
Throw in a nice quiet near-instrumental ("Never a Word") and a short instrumental ("Contact Lost"), and I have everything I could want out of a late-period Purple album: a bunch of good songs in a bunch of good styles. Heck, even Gillan doesn't annoy me! Perfect!
