"An addictive, emotive sonic trip of a song that I keep hitting replay on. I don’t know whether I want to hold myself and sway in pure melancholy, or jump up and dance in pure liberation, but this song has me wanting to do both.”
–CVLT Nation

"Richmond, Virginia post punk band Shadow Age is back after a substantial break with their new track, Ours, marking their first release since 2018. Accompanying the song is an impeccably crafted video, shot and directed by Cat McCarthy. Prior to their hiatus, the band had already made an impact with one album and two EPs, sharing stages with notable acts such as The Chameleons and Modern English."
–Destroy//Exist

"A pleasant slice of impassioned darkwave from Virginia’s Shadow Age... The best thing about the track is the way it slowly blossoms on its first chorus – the first minute or so is reserved, with tasteful guitars and solid rhythm programming, but when Aaron Tyree uncorks his lovely voice to its full capacity, it doesn’t go back in the bottle for the remainder of the lush tune."
–I Die: You Die

"Melancholy and emotive... Deep and dark, provoking a great deal of introspection and stillness in the listener’s mind."
–Metal Epidemic

"Richmond, Virginia post-punk act Shadow Age are back."
–New Noise

"Emerging from a five-year hiatus with renewed energy and a fresh perspective, Richmond, Virginia’s post-punk outfit Shadow Age returns... 'Ours' is an emotional anthem that features Tyree’s powerful vocals, set against a danceable drumbeat and complemented by reverb-drenched guitars and keys. The song serves as a dreamlike tribute to resilience in the face of heartbreak, and is sure to move anyone who listens."
–Post-Punk

"The reunited Virginia post-punks make up for lost with their darkly powerful single."
–Tinnitist
