Composition
Lasting for three minutes and 54 seconds, "Another's Arms" features an arrangement of guitars, strings, "whooshing keys", "stuttering drums", a "female specter" that "croons in and out of focus", and Chris Martin's lead vocals. The song contains a vocal sample from "Silver Chord" by Jane Weaver.
Reception
Billboard writer Jason Lipshutz called "Another's Arms" "a songwriting gem", although he found the arrangement "flat". Josh Modell of The A.V. Club felt that it was "undercooked", while Consequence of Sound's Josh Terry said that the song was the "most well-crafted offering" of Ghost Stories.
