Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 6 out of 7
  2. Negative: 0 out of 7
  1. For Rose City, a kinda-sorta homage to their adopted hometown, they've brought on locals Evan Railton and Corrina Repp to beef up their sound--not that it needed beefing up, but it's nice to hear them having fun with some talented pals.
  2. Rose City is not only the most unified album of Viva Voce's career, but it also contains the Robinsons' strongest collection of tracks. [Spring 2009, p.68]
  3. Despite such mix-tape worthy moments, Rose City is one of the band's weakest overall efforts yet.
