“With a rich voice delivering image-filled lyrics, Wil comes at his second album with purpose and passion. Every chord and key is full of intention, without letting any airtime go to waste.” – Flare.com, May 2007
“The end result (By December) moves confidently between roost-y rock’n’roll and indie-pop.” – Exclaim!, June 2007

– Inside Entertainment, May 2007
“…produced by Dave McKinnon (The FemBots) it features a genre bending, fuller sound with appearances by members of The Weakerthans, The Hidden Cameras and Arcade Fire.” – Avenue, 2007
“This is country the indie set doesn’t have to shy away from.” - Chartattack.com, 2007
“By December displays a genuine pop sensibility and catchy hooks. Soulful and impressive guitar work set off nicely by a strong, clear vocal style. -A” – The Scene, May 2007
