"A superb songwriter. His songs take witty and wonderful snapshots of the planet’s follies and absurdities – he’s a fine fingerpicking guitarist too."
Robb Johnson
"Mike’s songs are brilliantly crafted…they are insightful, sometimes sad but always thought-provoking."
Hove Folk Club review
"He won't see 50 again, but Mike Reinstein – who once fronted a band called Doris – finally gets to release his debut solo album More To Be Revealed (Irregular). Very enjoyable it is too for Reinstein is a finger-picking guitarist with a developed sense of the absurd and a rich way with words. The edgily sardonic nature of songs like Last Two Jews In Kabul, Hitler's Little Pinkie and the reggae-inflected Tungsten Not Lead, puts him in a similar ball park to masters of wordplay like Jake Thackray, Leon Rosselson and Robb Johnson, on whose label he now appears."
