Critical reception

Pat Blashill of Rolling Stone referred to "Mobile" 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 to airplay 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
