Critical reception

In a review in the Entertainment Weekly magazine, the song received a "B+" rating. The review commented that the song is a "surprisingly lovely pop-punk pounder about intercontinental relationships." Joe DeAndrea from AbsolutePunk said that "Jet Lag is Simple Plan's first big single in a long time, almost in vein of No Pads' "I'd Do Anything." Not as rocking, but packs the same similar punch."{{Cite news|url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=2299512|title= Get Your Heart On! - Simple Plan - Absolute Punk|publisher=Absolute Punk|author= Joe DeAndrea|date=June 20, 2011|access-date=June 21, 2011}} Davey Boy from Sputnikmusic was also positive, saying that "English pop songstress Natasha Bedingfield fares best with the call and response vocals of 'Jet Lag' making for an effective radio pop-rocker that plies the oft-used theme of long-distance relationships."{{Cite news|url=https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/44062/Simple-Plan-Get-Your-Heart-On!/|title= Get Your Heart On! - Simple Plan - Sputnikmusic|publisher=Sputnikmusic|author=Davey Boy|date= June 20, 2011|access-date=June 21, 2011}}

Music video

The music video for "Jet Lag" was filmed at Toronto Sheraton Gateway Hotel and Toronto Pearson International Airport and released on May 4, 2011. In the video, the band performs within the airport. In addition, lead singer Pierre Bouvier and Natasha Bedingfield play a long-distance relationship couple. After Pierre mails Natasha a postcard from Chicago (the music video's implied setting), he boards a flight to see her. While WestJet is the airline that prominently features in the video, an Air Canada Boeing 777 is seen taking off at the ending. Two SkyTeam airlines are also featured; a KLM Boeing 747-400 is seen landing at the beginning while the tailfin of a Korean Air Boeing 777 is visible at the 2:04 mark.

The band also released a Mandarin Chinese version of "Jet Lag" featuring Chinese pop star Kelly Cha.

Another music video for Jet Lag which features Tantri Sylandri of Kotak at Jakarta, Indonesia and next one with Marie Mai Bouchard replacing Natasha Bedingfield in French version.
