Not to Disappear received generally positive reviews from critics. 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. 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.{{cite magazine |first1=Thomas |last1=Vogel |first2=Jörn |last2=Karstedt |first3=Kai |last3=Reinbold |first4=Masi |last4=Kriegs |first5=Peter |last5=Heymann |first6=Thomas |last6=Pilgrim |first7=Marc |last7=Urban |first8=Kym |last8=Gnuch |first9=Erik |last9=Rössler |author10=Medusa |display-authors=5 |title=Soundcheck |magazine=Sonic Seducer |issue=2 |year=2016 |page=68 |language=German}} 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". 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".
