 Reviewing his debut CD EP 'Hold Out forSummer' journalist and broadcaster John O'Regan wrote, "Paul Castle writes the kind of songs which make songwriting the valuable and worthy trade it is. Well crafted intelligent lyrics set to contagious melodies and artists like Frances Black and others have been quick to realise this and snap up his material. The CD 'Hold Out for Summer' perfectly illustrates his musical and lyrical attributes. 'Write Him a Letter' and 'Louise (Kick off your dancing shoes) are the tuneful radio playlist staples while 'Just about leaving' leaves a melancholy yet powerful after effect and the wistful title track nails his melodic colours to the mast. The 'Old Bear Stories' TV theme song shows another side with an infectious children's song. 'Hold out for summer' proves the art of quality songwriting is alive and well."
