Alexandra Cahill of Billboard comments on the song calling it "an easy-to-like track with tight harmonies, showcases the duo's readiness to conquer the dancefloor.

"[1] Starpulse says: The genre-defying electropop of "Falling Away" flaunts Spencer's production talents: dense layers of spacey synths, vintage keyboards and smart rhythms (in other words, headphone fodder).

"Falling Away" functions as a representation of Jupiter Rising as a whole: smart, insanely catchy and undeniably danceable.

The music video for 'Falling Away,' directed by Andrew Gura, was shot in Los Angeles in November 2008 and released in late January 2009.

The group is featured singing in a dark room separated from the other scene of the video, in which a man is dancing through a neighborhood.
