Reception
Music critic Johnny Lofthus, writing for Allmusic, praised the album, calling it "homey and gorgeous" and calling Harmer's voice "starkly beautiful." "There's fully formed adult alternative stuff here, from the robust head-nod lilt of 'Almost' to 'New Enemy's more stately melody... This immediacy helps sell All of Our Names, since music like this can be smothered by over-production."
