Philipp Gottfried's Review of I'll Never Be White Like You in Sonic Realms Magazine (Germany) 

"Whether 'I'll Never Be White Like You' becomes the soundtrack of a new protest movement or remains "just" the masterpiece of a singular artist, only time will tell."

“But beneath the lighthearted surface burns a determination that places him in the lineage of modern troubadours—those tireless voices that sing of injustice until no one can look away any longer.”

Dave Franklin, Dancing About Architecture, Review of I'll Never Be White Like You 

“I think it is fair to say that the United States of America has never needed Blind Uncle Harry more than it does right now.”

“It’s a gloriously satirical and antagonistic piece of music, precisely what the world needs more of”

“a song that will either see him as the leading light, or at least chief troubadour, of a glorious revolution, or, given the way the country is going, sharing a crowded cell in a Venezuelan jail with Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift!”
