Critical reception


Tony Robert Whyte of Drowned in Sound wrote that "We Walk" is "a lush ballad in hiding that's too scared to show its true spots for fear it'll be laughed out of town by cool-as indie types, its incessant cowbell effects eventually tiring the attention despite the album's most heartfelt vocal from White."[1] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian stated that the song "prove[s] White and De Martino can do glossy and depthless at will, but pop perfection comes less easily."[2]


Music video


The music video for "We Walk", directed by Ben Ib,[3] features Katie White and Jules De Martino walking in a park at night, with many of their duplicates around them in frozen poses.[4]
