Will Ryan of Beats Per Minute commented that We Stay Together is "heavier, more defined, and arguably better" than Passed Me By.[1] He added, "The feel of We Stay Together is consistently nocturnal, if not foreboding, though it never descends into Demdike Stare blackness."[1] Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor wrote, "Where the music on Passed Me By slowly destroyed itself with each passing bar, here it sounds like it's desperately struggling to hold together."[10]
