I think these are quite good, with the exception of the fact that the skin tones are too warm, in my opinion. You may want to try this set up with cooler temperature bulbs. You can get lightbulbs around 5000 degrees kelvin at a professional photographer's store and that will give you light similar in temperature to a north light window.
To reduce the intensity of the shadow behind the figures, try moving the subject further from the backdrop.
On the first photo, there's very little shadow area. I'd back away from him with the reflector so the shadows aren't washed out by the "fill".
