AllMusic

The mix of songs that connect with gently experimental sounds that low-key dazzle make for a winning combination and Together is another surprising slowcore triumph.

Beats Per Minute
This is music for the mercurial bunch in need of a break from their own chaotic lives, who need to experience someone else’s even if it’s momentarily.

The trio’s second album post-hiatus matches the clarity of its arrangements with an unexpected spiritual lightness. Rarely has Duster sounded so pleasant and peaceful.

Together is a finely-crafted work which should hold up to listening under widely varied circumstances, likely to feel as much at home amid the windswept, skeletal trees of late autumn as on the porch on a humid summer evening.

i like the more gentle sound to this album. its not usually what i listen to duster for, i prefer their louder and more chaotic stuff like on Stratosphere and S/T, but it does it very well and in my opinion much better the contemporary movement. it sounds like the album cover, a late night journey through thought in bed.
