Reception
Debbie Carr from ABC said "Just as polished as the name itself, 'Silver' shows DMA's progressing into slicker form of their late 90s-early 00s pop revival. Warm, encompassing guitar parts wrap their arms around you, while singer Tommy O'Dell’s voice soars, in a way that's damn near impossible to be anything other than lovable."{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/news/musicnews/first-spin-dmas-silver-new-single-for-now/11632772|title= First Spin: DMA's return with another rousing slice in "Silver"|website=ABC|date=24 October 2019|access-date=28 May 2021}}
Alex Gallagher from Music Feeds described "Silver" as "spirited swirl of atmospheric yet anthemic guitar-pop, with a pretty huge chorus to boot."{{cite web|url=https://musicfeeds.com.au/news/dmas-have-returned-with-huge-new-single-silver/|title= DMA's Have Returned With Huge New Single "Silver"|website=Music Feeds|date=24 October 2019|access-date=28 May 2021}}
