Cold Chocolate “sounds softer than the dew on the mountainside, harder than a Harley pushing back red dust, sweeter than true love.” --Simon Waxman, The Boston Review
​

​“Opening with a smooth and soulful organ and maintaining a laid back groove punctuated by slinky guitar playing, the song is a feel-good meditation…Blending Americana, jammy West Coast rock and roll and even the loose, flowing spirit of jazz, the song captures the band’s talent for writing poignant and catchy songs while bottling up their creative live energy in a studio recording.”
--Glide Magazine, April 22, 2020
​

​“Aloft a roadhouse funk setup, Cold Chocolate addresses some of life’s more profound truths.”
--Melissa Clarke, Americana Highways, May 19, 2020
​

"Cold Chocolate may have started in the rootsy, bluesgrass realm but have evolved into more jam rock with shades of jazz and funk.  It makes for a fine musical blend...Part of the band's charm are Robbins and Bernstein's harmonies, which add a layer of sweetness to their beguiling melodies.  It comes together to make their music spirited and uplifting."
--Mayer Danzig, Twangville, January 7, 2021

"The evolution and metamorphosis of a band or artist is an inevitable thing. Particularly with those to whom creativity seems to flow like a raging river and who’s veins are filled flush with soul and vibe. Cold Chocolate is one of those bands. Over the years the adapting and growth of the self described “genre bending Americana band” has seen waves of straight acoustic, firey bluegrass, jam infused rock and even a folkier side."
--Brian Carroll, Redline Roots, May 8, 2020
