"The pure beauty and craftsmanship of Alison Krauss & Union Station's ... sound is undeniable, and somehow they manage [to retain] the spark of honesty that seems to be missing from the recordings of so many of their contemporaries." - AMGuide

"['Live' is] an album of uncommon artistry, a moving testament to how good live music can be in the hands of world-class players." - Alanna Nash

"The depth of [Alison's] musicianship and her band's seamless ensemble playing allow her to juxtapose the propulsion of old-time mountain music with expansive, conteporary-sounding beds of texture deftly crafted from the basics of electric guitar, dobro, mandolin, and her own expert fiddle. [New Favorite is] a fine and timeless recording." - The Boston Phoenix

"…no other crossover bluegrass band begins to meet their mark either musically or emotionally, as New Favorite so amply shows." - Alanna Nash

"From start to finish, [New Favorite] is pure class." - Ray Waddell

"Alison Krauss is to music what dew is to a flower: soft, reflective, and satiating." - Billboard

"[Alison Krauss & Union Station polish their music] with terrific production, the finest instrumentation, and two of the best voices around." - AMG

"In the 15 years the 30-year-old Krauss has been recording for Rounder Records, she has been anointed the Savior of Bluegrass. She pushes the sound well beyond its predictable, stoney-faced boundaries and infuses it with emotion and experimentation." - The Atlanta Constitution
