Critical reception[]

Pat Blashill of Rolling Stone referred to "Mobile" as a "completely inescapable hit".[2] 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]

Chart performance[]

"Mobile" was solely released in New Zealand. The song debuted at number 36 on the New Zealand Singles Chart for the issue dated May 11, 2003.[3] It spent a total of 11 weeks on the chart, peaking at number 26 for the issue dated June 8, 2003.[3]

Music video[]

A music video was filmed for the song in December 2002, although it was shelved for unknown reasons.[4] In January 2011, the music video leaked online.[4]
