Bentley re-joined Squeeze for the band's 2007 reformation, playing on the band's "Quintessential Tour 2007" through the US and UK. Bentley's first solo album, ''The Man Who Never Was'', an independently released album, was put out in 2007. Squeeze member [[Glenn Tilbrook]] reflected on Bentley's role in the band in 2020: "I certainly underrated what John brought to the band the first time around. The Squeeze sound did change when we had Keith Wilkinson, and looking back now, not necessarily for the better. I think John drives us a lot."[{{cite web |last1=Fanelli |first1=Damian |date=May 2012 |title=Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze Talks Gear, Guitar Solos and Future Plans |url=https://www.guitarworld.com/features/interview-guitarist-glenn-tilbrook-squeeze-discusses-gear-guitar-solos-influences-and-future-plans |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021040241/https://www.guitarworld.com/features/interview-guitarist-glenn-tilbrook-squeeze-discusses-gear-guitar-solos-influences-and-future-plans |archive-date=21 October 2020 |access-date=20 October 2020 |website=Guitar World |language=en}}] |
