AllMusic

Trouser Press wrote that "Chocolate USA is nothing if not eclectic; although most of the album is acoustic slacker pop, 'Skyphilis/Air Raid' kicks off as a pastiche of Tommy Dorsey’s big band sound and glides into an extended free-jazz fantasy." The Tampa Bay Times called the album "rife with fragmented genius, nervous energy and a creative vibe so powerful, it could send shivers down a spine of stainless steel." The Times Union considered it a "wonderfully wild pastiche of pop." The Tampa Tribune deemed the album "a montage of silly love songs, jazz fusion, guitar-distortion noise and snippets of a taped correspondence."
