The quartet's cycle of jam band guitars and lamentable retrospectives os a smidge repetitious but there's comfort in the routine. [Fall 2008, p.97]

Rolling Stone
They keep up that trend on their sophomore effort, a slightly more freewheeling affair that overcomes its lack of innovation through sheer youthful exuberance.

Pitchfork
But as clear as that opening switch to afterburners rings, much of Heavenly Bender sounds too-worn in at times, hooks still more familiar than barbed.

Prefix Magazine
Sam Champion’s sophomore album, Heavenly Bender, is a worthy rollick.
30
PopMatters
Whenever the hooks dissipate, and the chops are sidelined, Sam Champion is an overindulgent snooze.
