Not really. Looks like those coordinates return:
http://www.geocodezip.com/example_geo2.asp?addr1=40.290724,-74.042013&geocode=1

500 State Highway 36, Eatontown, NJ 07724, USA (40.2907166,
-74.0415471)

in the v2 API reverse geocoder. Why do you have the quotes in your
query string?

If I remove them, it works for me:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?latlng=40.2907166,-74.0415471&sensor=false
