The Monkees at their pre-tour press conference, held at the Warwick Hotel in New York City on July 6, 1967. Photos by AP Photo/Ray Howard, Bettmann/Getty Images, and unnamed.

“[The Monkees] held a press conference at the teeny bopper-garlanded Warwick Hotel last week. Perhaps they would have been wiser not to. As usual the press, as much as the pressees, was at fault for the draggy set — to with the quartet — half of whom tried valiantly to make something of inane questions and half of whom merely winced in disdain. The boys, gotten up in currently modish Indian-inspired ragtag garments answered queries, for the most part, in the non-sequitur way that is becoming tiresome. But, on the other hand, what can you do with ninnies who ask things like ‘Why do you dress like you do?’ Monkee Peter Tork is to be congratulated for remaining forthright throughout. Monkees Davy Jones and Mike Nesmith, however, proved ungentlemanly by being no less ill-mannered than many of their interrogators. Micky Dolenz, who seems a happy-go-lucky fellow, was just that. The Monkees’ reputation as amiable, commercial music-makers was not enhanced; but neither was it tarnished by a news-making convention — the large celebrity press conference — that needs reevaluation. There is nothing else to report.” - Dave Finkle, Record World, July 15, 1967
