[3] Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic wrote that "Mixed Signals" is an "open-road epic" that sounds like a "Runaways" from The Killers's 2012 studio album, Battle Born.
Andi Gill of The Independent wrote that The Killers provided the album with "a little chart-oriented rock punch" on "Mixed Signals".
"[4] Corner of Digital Spy called it a "standout" on the album and further wrote, "Robbie has always had that frontman energy in his delivery, so the lovelorn lyric, pumping chorus and growling vocal will go down a storm at his live show.
"[3] The Guardian's Tim Jonze was more critical and noted that "Mixed Signals" sounds like a "cartoon version" of works done by American singer Bruce Springsteen.
The first one features Heslewood entering the door and coming to a woman, played by Ayda Field, Williams's real life wife.
