In the expression Me deja frío(a), does the frío or fría refer back to the indirect object pronoun and takes on the gender of the pronoun? I'm not sure when to make it masculine or feminine. Also what is its part of speech, adjective, adverb...?

Yes, In this sentence “me” is what is being left cold, so the adjective matches the sex of “me”.

Here is an example sentence where you can clearly see that it does not relate to the subject of dejar:

Para ser honesto, la gran mayoría de las interpretaciones de música clásica y antigua me dejan frío.

And to be honest I'm left cold by the vast majority by classical and early music performances.

http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/leave+cold; doesn't move me, leaves me emotionless, but I think it may be broader in Spanish. :) - bosquederoble, Feb 10, 2016
