- Zoe Hodges / Maverick Magazine -

"Together with his musical friends, American singer songwriter Barry Oreck recorded a nice folky singer songwriter album titled 'Leap Year'. It has a clear Irish kinda feeling, so with an acoustic approach and use of violin, mandolin and guitar, along with nice close up harmony vocals, this is an album done very well,"

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"Brooklyn based folkie Barry Oreck brings the roots spirit with contemporary songs, softly framed with rhythm guitar, mandolin and weeping violin."

- Marino Serdons / Keys & Chords -

"Storytelling folk songs are the subject of the 4th album, 'Leap Year', from American singer songwriter Barry Oreck from Brooklyn, New York. Most of these tracks were written during the far too long lockdown period, caused by the corona pandemic, but they want to give the listeners an injection of positivity and hope.“
