Critical reception

Under the Gun said "Like most of the group’s catalog the song offers numerous tongue-in-cheek lyrics thrown together against a melody that’s too catchy for its own good. It’s the kind of well-structured song that gets stuck in your mind".^[5] Metalholic: "'Fashionably Late' is at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to 'Alone'. Where 'Alone' has rapping and is intense and angry 'Fashionably Late' is upbeat, completely easy-going and has a more pop rock vibe to it".^[6]
