    Despite the presence of utterly infectious single “Downtown” and the jangly “Better Off Now That You’re Gone,” the first half of Golden is a little too polished, as if the trio couldn’t escape the pull of Own the Night’s gravitas.

    An overall sedate, relatively predictable album.

    The mulch-platinum country trio's fourth LP is a refreshing return to form after the dull post-"Need You Now" phase of their career. [10 May 2013, p.67]
