    Coming from a huge Donnas fan, I'm disappointed by the over-produced, formulaic sound of this album. None of the riot grlll spirit of the first few albums, and none of the creativity of their last couple. I suppose it's the natural progression of hard rock bands. Sad, really.

    Pleasantly tuneful pop-punk. [23 Oct 2004, p.51]

    The most striking aspect of Gold Medal is the band's remarkable maturation process over the past two years.

    We're skipping past Gold Medal's soggy, pub-folk title track toward an otherwise flawless album of glossy, commercial punk. [Dec 2004, p.142]
