Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song three out of five stars and described it as "a slushy,string-laden slowie about longing for a girl,but with the BPM turned up a notch and a stomping rhythm –too fast for waving lighters but slow enough for hands-in-the-air time –'Heart Vacancy' treads on the slightly more manly side of sentimental."

[3] In Ireland,the song debuted at peaked at number eighteen. [4] It was re-released as the band's second single in America in April 2012 but did not chart.
