Critic Jonathan Perry of the Boston Globe described Hot Molasses' sound as "tartly flavored, kinetically arranged pop-rock," comparing them to the B-52s and the New Pornographers. Boston-based public radio affiliate, WGBH, commented that, "Hot Molasses play a power pop that recalls the Canadian Baroque pop explosion of the late 90s and early 00s, from Broken Social Scene and the New Pornographers through Sloan." Hot Molasses seeks to raise awareness of political causes and advance economic and social justice through music, and has organized and played at benefits for charitable organizations including City Life/Vida Urbana, Alternatives for Community & Environment, and Opportunity Africa.
