"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

"Rend Collective's Good News is set on turbo-charge.  The songs exude such a titanic force both in their spiritual and vocal intensities that they can topple any scaffold of doubt and fear." - Hallels

“As always strong vocals, catchy melodies and a bunch of songs that ooze passion. Rend Collective are back...This could one of the best Rend albums to date.” - Louder Than The Music

"An exuberant, triumphant reminder of the 'good news' of Jesus— Good News is the album I needed right now, and I bet you need it, too." - Churchm.ag

"From the opening track to the last one, Good news will give you joy unspeakable and provide hope because Christ lives in each believer, life is forever beautiful." - The Smart Cookie Philes
