    For it's diversity, experimentation, and excellent performances, Leaving Eden is even better [than 2010 release, Genuine Negro Jig].

    The result is a rarity in the Chocolate Drops' world: roots music as useful as it is beautiful.

    The instrumental work is impressive throughout, but Gidden's vocals are the main attraction. [Apr 2012, p.88]
