Not to Disappear received generally positive reviews from critics.[7] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club found that Daughter's "brutal lyrical honesty" sets them apart from musical antecedents such as The Cure, PJ Harvey and Beach House.[9] Sonic Seducer said that the band had created a dynamic mixture of indie pop, folk and shoegaze that reflected influences from bands such as London Grammar and Massive Attack.[2] Marcy Donelson of AllMusic called the album "elegant, moving, and often beautiful", as well as sufficiently dynamic despite its reliance on "sound-defining delay, a dark tone palette, and friable vocals".[8] Rolling Stone's Amy Rose Spiegel was more critical, finding that the minimal instrumentation "can highlight the monotony of Tonra's gorgeous, but largely static, vocal phrasing".[15]
