"With encouraging regularity, Charlie King emerges from his self-reflection to remind us of the happy resilience of the human spirit. His message songs vary between the funny and the frightening, but he pulls them off with unvarying taste, musical skill, and charm." ~ Billboard
"One of the finest singers and songwriters of our time." ~ Pete Seeger
"I am struck with the ease with which he can put a difficult technical subject into every day language… If we had more Charlie Kings, I’d be less worried about the future of the world." ~ Peggy Seeger

Anyone who aspires to write political satire should hear this brilliant duo. ~ Sing Out! Magazine
The songs are meticulous masterpieces, lyrically and musically. The Prince Myshkins are true American queer music revolutionaires….each song an American epic unto itself. ~ Scott Free, Outvoice Reviews
Brilliant musicians and astonishing political songwriters… their wordplay is unrelentingly sidesplitting.
Peter Berryman, Whither Zither
Klezmer meets Godot and Brothers Grimm….the Myshkins are first-rate musicians whose sardonic songs induce
life-threatening fits of laughter. ~ The Lounge, KPBS San Diego
Musically gripping, lyrically acerbic….The Prince Myshkins have been compared to Mark Russell as political satirists in song and Romanovsky and Phillips as a Gay folk duo singing original material, but in this interviewer’s opinion they’re far ahead of that level and within hailing distance of their self-proclaimed (or self-confessed) influences: the Marx Brothers, Tom Lehrer, Monty Python. Catch them as soon as you have the opportunity.
Zenger’s Magazine
Dazzlingly fast, complex, socio-political songs with musical changes that would leave Kurt Weill smiling and shaking his head with jealousy….The Myshkins leave one’s mouth gaping with their rapid-fire hilarity…they also have penned what I consider to be the greatest anti-war Song in the history of music: “Ministry of Oil.”
Brad Schreiber, A Critical Moment
A remarkably talented pair of singer-songwriters…very funny, lively, smart, and political. Their CD "Shiny Round Object" is my favorite recording of the last millennium. ~ Charlie King
A rare combination of biting satire and great musicianship.Hysterical send-ups of current political and social issues to remarkably catchy and well-written tunes. ~ Twiggs Green Room
