Since the album has been released, it has been seen as a critical success even though sales have been fairly modest. His first North American release, To the Sky EP, was digitally released on 22 May on the same label.
Maps has toured playing the album's songs with a full live line-up. Maps played the Latitude Festival in Southwold on 13 July, as well as the Leeds and Reading Festivals on 24 and 26 August. They played on five dates in the United States later in the same year.
James was supported by four local musicians for live shows. Phil Thurlby and Matthew Roberts were on keyboards and vocals, Andrew Lowther was on bass and Ben Gordelier was on drums.
On 17 July it was announced that We Can Create had been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. However, it lost out to Klaxons' debut album Myths of the Near Future.
The album artwork for We Can Create and all the singles leading up to its release were created by CitizenBB (Ben Brown) at Citizen.
