"A+ They are definitely a duo to watch. Their sound is sonically rich and carefully assembled; both old fashioned and deeply modern. In A Word: Gorgeous"
-Aquarian Weekly
"Their spacious sound belies their lack of manpower...All Dressed, is four songs of expansive indie rock, with just a hint of country fringe. If only it were longer! So guys, please! If you've got more songs this good, don't hoard them. Let's hear'em."

"An impressively big sound for a stripped down rock duo, the harmonies are gorgeous, the lyrics are fully singable and I've been listening to them all day..."
-Loud Farm
"infectious, driving indie rock..."

"The best combination of the Kings of Leon and Bruce Springsteen you are likely to ever hear. The Cinnamon Band just basically kick out the jams and leave a trail of rock in their wake...ridiculously groovy, catchy as botulism...the Kings of Leon should keep an eye on their backs..." - Pop! Stereo
"...exuberant tunes reminiscent of Big Star or Wilco, tempered with a big, arena rock edge...these guys will be a great addition to the scene!"

"This is what separates The Cinnamon Band from their duo-brethren; their music is never stuck on one level. Because of their willingness to branch out and expand beyond their limitations, they are always creating something unique. The result is a big sound and performances that are sure to captivate any audience."
- Performer Magazine
"...of all the bands that have played Live at Ipanema, the Cinnamon Band sounded most likely to be the breakthrough act. Their voices blended beautifully and lyrically the songs were stunning, It was easy to lose sight of the fact that all that sound was coming from only two guys, a guitar and drums."

"...rhythmic guitar, explosive, driving beats, top-of-their-lungs harmonies, full-volume amps that’ll have you singing along. However, The Cinnamon Band should almost be listed as a comedy act as well. The two couldn’t be more different, and it makes for hilarious banter."
-The Richmond Scene
