Critical reception
"Fire" was met with generally mixed reviews and was met with criticism due to its pop tones. Rockstar Weekly stated that "Fire" it's "more radio friendly than anything".{{cite web|url=http://www.rockstarweekly.com/new-cd-reviews/3088-cd-review-lacuna-coil-dark-adrenaline.html |title=CD Review: Lacuna Coil - Dark Adrenaline | New CD Reviews | RSW |publisher=Rockstarweekly.com |date= |accessdate=2012-07-06}} Loud Wire said that "has a hip-shaking drum beat has a tinge of a dancy feel without losing its edginess. Scabbia sings the very appealing chorus “Let the fire enter / Let the anger start to brew / Let your instincts break the rules / Let it rise and consume / Give into yourself.” Its poetic rhythm and upbeat drum pattern makes the song that more enjoyable".{{cite web|url=http://loudwire.com/lacuna-coil-dark-adrenaline-album-review/ |title=Lacuna Coil, 'Dark Adrenaline' – Album Review |publisher=Loudwire.com |date=2012-01-24 |accessdate=2012-07-06}}
