Reception

Angela Croudace from Heavy Mag said "Overall, Was Here offers a captivating blend of sound experimentation, with certain tracks standing out amid the album's varied genre exploration. It showcases a dynamic mix of styles, highlighting the band's potential for future innovation. This album underscores the exciting possibilities when Stand Atlantic combines their signature sound with new influences."[10]

Rachel Roberts from Kerrang! gave the album 4/5 and said "Across 15 tracks, the flaming four-piece delve into the complexities of moving on from tumultuous life experiences, baring even the ugliest of emotions like gritted teeth – anger, pettiness, regret. In turn, they create an affirming record which examines pain through a realistic lens."[11]

Amber Bintliff from WMSC (FM) called it "their most diverse and hard-hitting project yet".[12]
