"Rich, textured harmonies and infectious melodies...."
— Billboard Magazine
"...this sextet just can't get much tighter than they sound on this outstanding Canadian album."
— The Record News.
"Jukebox with Delbert McClinton is brilliant, name-checking dozens of songs in 4:40 of swampy, backroom rocking blues."
— Donald Teplyske, Fervor Coulee
" Their soaring harmonies and hard driving but very melodic country-flavoured rock quickly earned them the tag: Canada's answer to the Eagles."
— Montreal Gazette
"They can still kick out the jams and rock with the best of them."
— Bill MacPherson, Bounder Magazine
"The songwriting is clever and heartfelt, the musicianship stellar and the harmonies soaring. In From the Cold is the Cooper Brothers older and wiser but still making great music!"
— Bill MacPherson, Bounder Magazine
"Canada's Country-rock heroes of the 1970's showed they have maintained their stellar harmonies and kept up their chops."
— Lynn Saxberg, Ottawa Citizen
"When the seven voices wind up on Melody's in my Mind or the Dream Never Dies there is no mistaking the talent, energy and style of one of the biggest comers in the industry."
— The Star Phoenix
"With just enough roots and country influences to keep it honest, In From the Cold is an enjoyable reintroduction to one of the most successful Canadian bands of the late 1970s."
— Red Deer Advocate
"...a rare, intelligent, diverse blending of pop and country that rivals the Beatles and the Buffalo Springfield in imagination and creativity."
— Atlanta Gazette.
"...an exceptional fusion of musicians."
— Billboard magazine
"Some of our most iconic Southern rock—The Band, Neil Young-- has been secretly Canadian. The Cooper Brothers are another link in this conspiracy."
— John Shelton Ivany
"IN FROM THE COLD... is a well-executed feast of roots rock that would fit on the table with bands like Blue Rodeo and The Band."
— Lynn Saxberg, Ottawa Citizen
"...Brian's vocal chops are still very much intact and Richard is still capable of writing catchy, country/rock songs. Good stuff!"
— John Sharpe, London Scene Magazine
"Near impeccable harmonies... the Cooper Brothers took a huge stride along the comeback trail with a grand performance at Bluesfest last night."
— Lynn Saxberg, Ottawa Citizen
