Hall stated in an interview that the song was developed between 2012 and 2014.
Quinn Moreland, writing for Pitchfork, considered its sound as redolent of Wilco's early music.
In context with "Cardinal", "Old Friends" opens the album and is thematically connected to its final track, "New Friends".
Both songs center on friendship; Moreland called the companion songs "odes to the fluctuating relationships that come with young adulthood."
It was, like much of "Cardinal", inspired by evening walks around Brookdale Park in his hometown of Montclair, New Jersey; the song's opening lyrics detail its "familiar sidewalk cracks and dogwood trees."
The lyrics are fictional, but "deeply" connected to Hall's experiences.
In an interview, Hall considered the song to have "an element of staying the same while everything around you changes and wanting to be adaptable but also being a little stubborn about it."
"Old Friends" first debuted as a live acoustic rendition, recorded for Philadelphia-based Schuylkill Sessions and released online in July 2015.
The studio version of the track premiered on Stereogum, an online music magazine, on January 5, 2016; in addition, the post announced the band's second album, "Cardinal".
Timothy Monger, reviewing "Cardinal" for AllMusic, complimented the song's "easygoing" tone and "affable melody."
Moreland, writing for Pitchfork, praised the song's heartfelt message, and its line "between melancholy and optimism."
Collin Brennan at Consequence of Sound too praised this duality, extolling the song as a "gem": "it bears listening to with the volume turned all the way up," he wrote.
"Spin" Colin Joyce felt the song's abstract observations conceal its "heartbreaking" realization to "call my parents when I think of them" and "tell my friends when I love them."
James Rettig, writing for Stereogum in the song's premiere post, compared its lyricism to Taylor Swift ("by way of, like, Built to Spill"), and suggested the song "takes on how stifling it can be to be tethered to your past, but how worthwhile those long-term connections can feel."
The song has been covered by singer-songwriter Kevin Devine.

Umuganda is a national holiday in Rwanda taking place on the last Saturday of every month for mandatory nationwide community work from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
The concept of "Umuganda" has its roots in traditional Rwandan culture, meaning "coming together in common purpose to achieve an outcome" in Kinyarwanda, one of Rwanda's official languages.
Participation in Umuganda is required by law, and failure to participate can result in a fine.
The program was established in 2009, and has resulted in notable improvement in the cleanliness of Rwanda.
Some criticize the practice as a form of forced labor.
Umuganda was instituted as a national holiday as part of Rwanda's reconstruction following the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
The success of Umuganda in Rwanda led the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to institute a similar program in South Sudan.
