(Rolling Stone, March 2012) , "If you like Springsteen's Seeger Sessions or his guest appearances on the Dropkick Murphys' latest album, you'll be in for a treat with Wrecking Ball. No Heartland Rock'n'Roll, no Clarence Clemons saxophone (except on the last song), no E-Street Band. Instead of fiddles, marching drums, and Irish bagpipes, instead of a Victorian gospel choir, a marching band with timpani and flutes, all with lyrics not heard since The Ghost Of Tom Joad that are so bitter and accusatory." (Good Times, April/May 2012) , "The (union) boss seeking justice is back." (Stereoplay, April 2012) "On Wrecking Ball, he tells his favorite story: The America you actually love has failed you. (musikexpress, April 2012) , "No declaration of war, but no compromise either: Bruce Springsteen rediscovers his old strengths." (Audio, April 2012)
