"The act has mastered the art of throwing a fete where everyone is invited, and Good News gives listeners more than a dozen reasons to celebrate. A unique blend of acoustic folk and Irish-infused pop, the album ushers in meaningful songs of modern worship, often contrasting the despondency of today's world with the hope of Christ's presence." - LifeWays HomeLife
"Rend Collective's Good News more than lives up to its Gospel-inspired title. It's the band's most inspired and nuanced album, with creativity, energy and heart to spare. This spunky Irish group has created a folk-rock worship album opus that is a welcome bit of sunshine in the cold of winter, and one of the best things you'll hear in all four seasons this year."- JesusFreakHideout
