Sadler continued with mastering the record, finalizing the artwork and worked with artist Dave Fisher on a trailer video.

Sadler stated that he "was essentially trying to keep the band alive for who-knows-what" and "hoping [Marshall] would come back or maybe in a few years we would start playing again."

Writing this album felt like a dusting of cobwebs for me and as though we were stepping into a territory that was fresh and exciting for our band; at least that was my goal when i made it.

I feel extremely grateful to have been able to work together with dudes that I’ve known for a long time in a band I felt had integrity.

Guitarist Nick Sadler experimented with more commercially accessible guitar parts when making the album.

He wrote bigger-sounding songs that wouldn't "get lost in a large room", contrasting with previous Daughters albums.

In an interview with Noisecreep, Marshall commented, "It's so easy to steer it and try to be accepted, and do this because this is what's good, and this is what's going to make our band popular.

"[10] Daughters was met with widespread critical acclaim, with many reviewers commenting on the album's cohesiveness and accessibility in comparison to their earlier work.

Writing for Pitchfork, David Raposa wrote, "...hardcore Daughters lovers will probably have plenty of bones to pick with this album.

"[17] Similarly Andrew Magnotta of The Aquarian Weekly said, "Daughters is a straight-ahead, tooth-grinding sprint to no place in particular.
