The song was issued as the album's lead single on 4 June 2001, two weeks before Outrospective was released. The remixes by Wookie and Dave Clarke that appear on the single releases are included on the bonus disc of the album Reperspective: The Remixes.

"We Come 1" reached number three in the United Kingdom, making it the joint-highest-charting Faithless song on the UK Singles Chart along with the 1996 re-release of "Insomnia". The single also reached the top three in Denmark, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, and Romania. A music video directed by Dom and Nic was created for the track. The song re-charted at number 70 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart after the death of Maxi Jazz in December 2022.

Critical reception

Miriam Hubner of Music & Media called "We Come 1" a "fervent love song" and called its production "smooth". Andy Hermann of online magazine PopMatters wrote that the song is an "obvious attempt to follow up the international club success of 'God Is a DJ'", praising its riff and production but noting that it "hardly rocks your world". Reviewing the album on AllMusic, Dean Carlson labelled the track a "sagging comeback single", comparing it to a mundane version of the Underworld song "Oich Oich" (1996).
