Critical reception

Pat Blashill of Rolling Stone referred to "Mobile" as a "completely inescapable hit". He noted that "Lavigne wails over crashing waves of acoustic and electric guitars, her big voice occasionally turns sideways in a drawl, a casual hint that she may actually be, of all things, a fine country singer in the making".[2]
