Awarding the album four stars from Alternative Press, Mischa Pearlman states, "The 10 songs are full of catchy hooks that aren't full-on pop, but aren't too far off, either ... We Came As Romans lends weight to the glossy sheen of songs that might otherwise be dismissed as too slick and too superficial."[3]
