DeRiso has earned multiple columnist of the year awards from the Associated Press, Louisiana Press Association and Louisiana Sports Writers Association[14][15][16].

He later co-founded the music site Something Else[18], which has been sourced or mentioned by The New York Times[19], All About Jazz[20] and NPR[21], among others.
Former Rolling Stone magazine editor and writer David Wild described 'Journey: Worlds Apart' as a "compelling deep dive into the rather complicated history of one of the most enduringly beloved bands in rock history," while long-time San Francisco Chronicle music writer Joel Selvin praised its "almost granular detail."[22] Critic Allison Rapp named 'Journey: Worlds Apart' as one of the 30 "best rock books of 2023."[23] Gary Graff, a long-time Detroit Free Press writer and frequent contributor[24] to Billboard magazine, said DeRiso's book was "packed with up-to-date facts and, most importantly, context."[25]
