- "On this, his second album, Krikorian comes of age...it's the lyrics that grab you; if you're a poetry or word fiend then Krikorian is for you. 'Words' is one of the stand out tracks here and like the other songs you're never quite sure what he's on about, but that's the beauty of a good writer - he lets you make your own mind up... Supported by a full band, Krikorian traverses that fine line that differentiates a very good songwriter from a mere songwriter."Americana UK Review
- "The universal strength of "Colors and Chords" that reaches across all genres, skill-sets, and expertise - whether you know music or not - is how well-written and poetic Dan's every song is. This album at its very core is a collection of great poetry rich in superb imagery, paired with intentionally moving and soulful tracks." 'Time is Contagious'
- "After just one listen to Dan Krikorian's second album, I wonder how it's possible I hadn't yet heard of him." Rootsville Review
- "The level of songwriting on "Colors and Chords" is very high and Dan's pleasant voice at times reminds you of Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish." Musikansich.de Review
- "Dan Krikorian's second album "Colors And Chords" provides sunny and lyrically outstanding songs in the well-known laid back style of the surfers Jack Johnson and Donavon Frankenreiter. Heartfelt emotions of both joy and pain are professionally incorporated in the 10 tracks on this magnificent record." Rootstime Review
- "The music is solid and Krikorian's voice is good. I preferred the deeper songs, as his soft voice can be quite emotive and bring forward his songs nicely. " David Hintz, Folkworld
- "As a songwriter Dan is a damned good craftsman." Country Start Page
