text: Critical reception A reviewer from NME wrote, "Some bands go out of their way to do a song with a sound they're never bound to do, then release it as a single. They usually fail. My Chemical Romance tried a substantially different sound for this song, and it paid off. The message is simple, the chorus is catchy and Ray Toro's solo joins the chorus and bridge together so smoothly." The song was rated 5 stars in both NME and AbsolutePunk.net.
  The song was #25 on Rolling Stones list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007. This song was also #80 on MTV Asias list of Top 100 Hits of 2007. The single is certified 4×  Platinum by the RIAA, 2× Platinum by the BPI, and Gold by the FIMI.
