Released in February 2012, "Apartment" peaked at number 26 on Billboard'''s Alternative Songs chart. Consequence of Sounds Caitlin Meyer described the song as "a seemingly average track that quickly crescendos into an impressive showcase of Gadhia’s vocal range." Chris White of musicOMH called it "an instantly infectious slice of quintessentially American alternative rock." In 2011, Young the Giant performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (January), on Later... with Jools Holland (May), and on MTV's Unplugged: Young the Giant, which began streaming online in November. A remixed version of the song by Captain Cuts appeared on Young the Giant's Remix EP'', released in 2011. Music videos
