Reception



Several reviews noted "The Signal Fire" as being a highlight of 'Atonement'.

Thom Jurek of AllMusic praised the "hard-grooving riffery" of the song and the performances of both Leach and Jones. J. Andrew of Metal Injection called the song the album's "most brutal moment" and called the addition of Jones on the song "an awesome fan-nerd moment, and a welcome combination of two of metal's most forceful voices." Ricky Aarons of 'Wall of Sound' also praised Leach and Jones's performances, noting that the vocals of Jones were closer in style to what he used with Killswitch Engage compared to the style he uses in his current band Light the Torch.

Music video



The song's music video was directed by Ian McFarland.
