On July 16, 2021 Erasure released Fallen Angel (Saint Remix) from their forthcoming ‘The Neon Remixed’ LP. Other remixes include works by Kim Ann Foxman, Hifi Sean, Octo Octa, Paul Humphreys (OMD), Andy Bell & Gareth Jones, and Theo Kottis.[10]

• PopMatters called it "is... reassuring, rhythmically as well as lyrically, with Bell gently urging us on to a warm bed of Clark’s haunting synth work"[11] and "another patented Erasure tune: emo lyrics, Bell’s plaintive warbling, Clarke’s inventive and luxuriant production."[12]
• Metro Weekly said "It features a gorgeous chorus and some of the most memorable synth work on the entire album, but is ultimately dragged down by excess padding and lyrics that come off as trite."[13]
• SLUG Magazine gave it positive review.[14]
• Retro Pop described it as a favorite on the album.[15]
• Affinity Magazine gave it a positive review, stating ' “Fallen Angel” is about facing your fears and trying “all of the things that give [you] love.” It’s an anthem track, a song that can (and should) be used to inspire listeners.Bell’s vocals and Clarke’s keyboard work play together very well on this track. There’s something playful about The Neon’s 3rd track, a vintage sound that hearkens back to an 8-bit video game soundtrack. The interaction of vocals and instrumentals works wonders for “Fallen Angel,” conveying the message of the need to try and do the things that give you love.'[16]
