Christina Saraceno of Allmusic noted that 'Losing Grip' allowed Lavigne to "show off" her vocal ability during the song's "explosive rock chorus". Sal Cinquemani of Slant magazine also praised Lavigne's vocals and compared them to Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette.
In an AOL Radio listener's poll, "Losing Grip" was voted Lavigne's tenth best song.

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks.

—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
