Cole described himself as growing up very social, but descending into a deep dissociation that led him to become isolated. He found solace and understanding in the imaginary world he now depicts in his paintings. His artwork allows him to make this internal place of comfort into something that could be seen, touched, and shared.<ref name=milk/>

In 2018, New York magazine ''Milk'' introduced Cole: "It’s not often that you get the opportunity to speak with a prodigy. But if you ever do, you’ll know. Danny Cole is an 18-year-old up-and-coming artist, and we’ve been watching his star on the rise."<ref name=milk>{{Cite web|url=https://milk.xyz/feature/artist-of-the-week-danny-cole/|title=Artist of the Week: Danny Cole|last=Bossart|first=Celine|date=2018-02-05|website=Milk|language=en-US|access-date=2019-12-22}}</ref>


Cole has been acclaimed for his unique aesthetic sensibilities. Grant Rindner of [[Nylon Magazine]] said "Cole's colorful characters are reminiscent of [[Keith Haring]]'s signature creations, but where movement was central to the pop art icon's work, Cole translates his own thoughts and struggles into static snapshots of personal, private moments."<ref name=nylon/>
''Paramind'' wrote of Cole's mission, "He accepts the power of connectivity and utilizes it within his every word, action, and most of all, within his every project and painting. It’s truly his mission to see humans hand in hand, listening when needed and speaking freely when required."<ref name=paramind/>

Cole has also been noted for his cross-disciplinary and his community-oriented approach to art presentation and engagement. "His work centers around human connection, self-discovery, and communal understanding," said Alisa Caira of [[WBRU]]. "It's personable and alien, abstract and specific, confusing and relatable."<ref name=WBRU/>
