The band were joined on stage by members of The Magic Numbers, Starsailor, EMF, The Bluetones, Treetop Flyers, as well as, Lyla Foy, Ren Harvieu and Michelle Stodart. The band has recently picked up much favourable press, including a double-page article in "NME" magazine on 3 April 2010 and a feature in "The Guardian" First Sight column. They were also awarded the front cover of "XYZ Magazine," with the interviewer claiming ""Sometimes bands come along and make you remember why you love music. Goldheart Assembly are one of those bands."" Since its release, "Wolves and Thieves" has received universal acclaim from the music and UK national press, with positive reviews in publications including "Mojo", "Uncut" and "NME" magazines as well as "The Sun" and "The Independent" newspapers. Mike Diver of the BBC stated that ""Such is the inherent sweetness of Goldheart Assembly’s debut that the listener can’t fail to be touched by its charms."" The second album, "Long Distance Song Effects," also received widespread critical acclaim with publications such as "The Guardian", "Metro", "Allmusic" and "NME" all awarding the album 4-star reviews. A popular live act, Goldheart Assembly have toured multiple times with Band of Horses and The Magic Numbers, and have also travelled extensively with acts such as The Civil Wars, The Low Anthem, We Are Scientists and Black Mountain. The band has sold out legendary London venues such as the Dublin Castle, The Lexington, The Borderline, Bush Hall, the ICA, Kings College London Student Union and Scala. They have performed at festivals such as Austin's SXSW, Vienna's Frequency Festival, Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury Festival, Isle of Wight, the Camden Crawl, Wychwood, Middlesbrough Music Live, Hard Rock Calling and V festival. In March 2014, as part of Fierce Panda’s 20th anniversary celebrations, the band played Wolves and Thieves live in its entirety at a sell-out show at The Lexington in Kings Cross. Goldheart Assembly's sound has been described as organic and characterised by pastoral west-coast style vocal harmonies. Initially compared to Seattle folk group The Fleet Foxes, journalists have since drawn comparisons with The Beatles, Television, Traffic and Dr Dog, with Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens stating ""Live, they succeed in being lovely and rousing, and have melodies to make Fleet Foxes back off and rethink their tunes.""
