Reviews:

Klaus Eichstadt stated in the December 2009 issue of the German edition of the music magazine Metal Hammer, that the members of Ugly Kid Joe were planning to reunite in summer 2010, although did not specify whether their intent was to produce a new album or simply to perform together. However, rumors of a reunion were confirmed on their MySpace page on May 27, 2010.

In connection with the reunion the band released an EP, mainly sold during their concerts. This worked out well the band decided to continue.
In 2015 the band got together again to record a new studio album in original Line Up and they included the live guitar player and drummer. Special guest on guitar - Phil Campbell from Motörhead.
