Critical reception
Aubin Paul from Punknews.org noted how both the bass and guitar lines were similar to The Cure's "Close to Me" and The Edge of U2 respectively but said that the combination works to make for "a memorable and fun song."{{cite web|url=https://www.punknews.org/review/6800/angels-and-airwaves-i-empire|title=Angels and Airwaves - I-Empire|last=Paul|first=Aubin|publisher=Punknews.org|date=November 6, 2007|accessdate=January 4, 2018}} NME writer Scott Evil said the track had promise with its melody being reminiscent of Blink-182 but found it "suffocated by the sheer bloody dreariness of the delivery."{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/angels-and-airwaves/9217|title=Angels & Airwaves|last=Evil|first=Scott|work=NME|publisher=IPC Media|date=November 9, 2007|accessdate=January 4, 2018}}
