According to most critics Leo Ihenacho's introduction into The Streets added a favourable dimension to the group.
For example, The Telegraph wrote: "The main change was in the build of The Streets' frontline performers. Skinner's previous vocal foil, Kevin Mark Trail, was bespectacled, sensitive-looking and gentle-sounding. Now that he has his own record deal, he's been replaced by Leo Ihenacho, a big-voiced, chest-baring dude who has clearly been working out." Elsewhere The Scotsman praised Leo Ihenacho's crooning of "I’ve got bits of cigarettes all over the place ... the ashtray needs emptying/But I wouldn’t have it any other way" on Wouldn’t Have it Any Other Way.
As well as The Streets, Leo Ihenacho's projects include writing and recording with The Darkness, Mitchell Brothers, and Kano.
