A nebulous phrase like "little Substance" reveals the critic's paucity of knowledge on the subject. People like Sean McGuire, and Jean Carignan have demonstrated the technical ability to master playing the Banks Hornpipe in E flat - the authentic key for this tune - as does Donnell Leahy. Never heard the others listed here record anything in E flat or B flat for that matter, and there is a considerable body of celtic music written in these keys. Master of the instrument can include it.
Lots of flash, little substance...wouldn't mention him in the same breath as Frankie Gavin, Meave Donnelly, Martin Hayes, Oisin MacDiarmada, Brendan Larrissey, John Carty, etc.
