On July 11, 2014, the band released the song "Mumble" on SoundCloud as a preview of the new album.[2][8]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Sway received an average score of 74, based on six reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[3] Tim Sendra of AllMusic noted that Sway's sound had taken a large influence from Nick Bassett's presence, "inch[ing] them closer to the harder side of the shoegaze revival (right next to Bassett's other band, Nothing, in fact)". He gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and finalized his review by saying that "Sway is an album that would measure up to almost any album made by the first wave of shoegazers".[1] Punknews.org gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars; while generally praising the album, the reviewer wished that Whirr would "experiment even more and toy with new music to give a bit more insight as to where the road leads", and also noted that "some tracks are a tad too long and sometimes, it drags".[5]
