Emmalee Manes, awarding the album three stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, recognizing, "They still have the power and upbeat-ness of the original album, as well as the chants of truth that listeners feel compelled to join in on, but there is a certain sincerity that they lack."[6] Rating the album a four out of five from The Christian Beat, Sarah Baylor writes, "We Are is a beautiful masterpiece that rises as an anthem for us to sing to our Lord and Savior!"[4] Jono Davies, giving the album five star for Louder Than the Music, says, "The City Harmonic seem to balance creative and catchy music so well."[7] Giving the album a 4.2 out of five at Christian Music Review, Laura Chambers states, "We Are's mission is to help us become who we are by reminding us Whose we are."[3]
