    It's pretty, non-threatening, and your mom might enjoy it, though don't let that be a criticism. [No. 93, p.53]

    No boundaries are broached, but everything works just fine. [Dec 2012, p.69]

    Lacking the jangly, well-crafted gems that made Morning Comes strong, the album sounds B-side-ish at times.

    Union is a pleasant listen, but never quite reaches the anthemic heights the band is trying for.

    Union's production and technical minutiae are immaculate, but as always, those are checks that bounce without the song ideas to cash them.

    Guitars jangle and fuzz to no clear purpose, the rest of the instrumentation plods behind, and singer Wayne Petti fails to convince. [Dec 2012, p.103]. [Dec 2012, p.103]
