Critical reception
Boris Canzano at Sputnik Music praised "Fallout" in his review of Ever After, writing "The best track on Ever After, Fallout... proves that Marianas Trench can take a pop cliché and mold it into something truly moving and meaningful." Catherine Yi at Pupfresh felt that "Fallout" was a "catchy, pleasing song" with strong radio potential, but that it offered too little musical or lyrically variation throughout.
Music video
The music video premiered on February 2, 2012 on MuchMusic. It is the second in a five-part video storyline, following "Haven't Had Enough" and continuing into "Desperate Measures".
