Time Magazine described Union as an album that "catches the sweet, scary feelings, all the uncertainty and release, that can come when the sun goes down", and "a diary of dashed love and stubborn hope set into layers of melody that will never let the memory loose". Following its release, Childs was nominated for two Grammy Awards for 'Best New Artist' and for 'Best Rock Vocal Performance (Female)' for the single "Don't Walk Away". (en)
