[All In] is wonderful. Errico manages to get more sophisticated, more bare-bones, more subtle, and more ballsy all at the same time. An amazing thing. - Burkhard Bilger
“His strong guitar riffs and R&B tinged voice will get your attention and pull you in.” « « « « (four stars) - Dennis Publishing
“[Mike] belongs to the younger generation, shredding folk styles with punk attitude. A fluid singer also influenced by soul and hip hop, he should appeal to fans of Ani DiFranco and other writers who lay their hearts bare, but rub a little salt in the wound to make it sting.” – New York Times - New York Times
