NUVO INDIANAPOLIS (2011):
Lafayette's Mike Reeb does a fine job of blending his influences and own sound on his new album Breaking. A record filled with images of melancholy and heartbreak, Reeb casts his bright pop and rock music into the mix to keep it engaging.... While Reeb mixes up the influences on the first part of the record, I kept hearing Neil Young come through the speakers on the back portion of the album. "It's Been a Real Hard Year" is an acoustic reminder of Young's Harvest days, while the message and music of "What Are You Fighting For?" and "The City Would Win" pay homage, at least in part, to the grittier side of the influential Canadian.

PIRADICAL PRODUCTIONS (2010):
[Reeb's] talent as a songwriter is readily apparent.... He is also an incredibly gifted vocalist, and this combined with his compelling songs really make him a force to be reckoned with. I believe his entire discography is available for free streaming via his website; I’d recommend taking the time to give some (or all) of it a listen.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE (2008):
[Reeb] keeps drawing positive reviews and kind comparisons to musical legends. Names like Dylan and Springsteen are often thrown out too loosely when used to describe up-and-coming artists. In Reeb's case, however, the connections may be warranted.
