Matt Conner, giving the album four stars from CCM Magazine, describes, "Fortunately they've maintained their initial heart for unity in the church".[2] Awarding the album four stars at Worship Leader, Gary Durbin states, "The City Harmonic brings another album filled with great musicality...it's a fantastic tool for your personal worship time."[9] Kevin Davis, rating the album four and a half stars for New Release Today, describes, "These are very passionate worship songs sung with vocal sincerity and reverence with biblically based lyrics."[8] Giving the album three and a half stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, mentioning, "There is an intelligence and a vision to this album that is lacking in most other projects that try the anthem-heavy approach, and it was not hard for me to appreciate this album."[5]

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]

gollark: Your introduction would be easier to read if I didn't have to spend nonzero amounts of brain on error correction. In any case, you clearly don't have that much power if it's significant for you. It is also underspecified and somewhat incoherent, so fix that.
gollark: Surely your ultimate cosmic powers should at least extend to spelling power correctly. I mean, I can do that, and I'm not a god at least 83% of the time.
gollark: Greetings, "le bunker de corona" members. I am gollark, otherwise known as osmarks, a human. As someone who is totally a human, I exist, and do human things such as (not limited to): consuming food; consuming water; sleeping; not sleeping; sitting in chairs; motion; social interaction; thought.I enjoy things such as authorship of highly accursed code in a wide range of programming languages, computational gaming, reading scifi/fantasy, and sometimes (when I am not horribly distracted) reading about various maths topics.If you are reading this, it is already too late.Feel free to DM me iff Riemann hypothesis!I have harvested some insightful quotes:“You know what they say, speak softly but carry a tungsten slug accelerated to a measurable fraction of C.” “I mean, we could use it to destroy the Universe, but we'd have to add a lot of antimatter. Which pretty much goes for all other matter.”“The laws of Australia prevail in Australia, I can assure you of that. The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia.”"World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation."“The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.”“Eventually all the people who hate this kind of thing are going to be dead, and the ones who use it are going to be in control.” - a linguist“All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection.” “Ignorance of insecurity does not get you security.” “I don't always believe in things, but when I do, I believe in them alphabetically.” “If you're trying to stop me, I outnumber you 1 to 6.”
gollark: Does it? I thought you only needed to look after and before a bit up to a digit which would require carrying. Or something like that.
gollark: No, but you can use accursed streaming base conversion algorithms™ probably.
