Reception
"Castle of Glass" has received positive reviews from critics. Billboard writes in their review of Living Things , "A folk song with LP muscles," Castle of Glass "uses compelling songwriting, long and simple but radical metaphors (for Linkin Park) arrangements to offer one of the most interesting songs of the album. "A reviewer at Sputnikmusic wrote in their diverse review of Living Things that the song sounded too similar to" Helpless "and that the song" it would be better not to lose the final that sounds the same. AltSounds describes the "Castle of Glass" in their album reviews as "continuing filler tracks to crawl speeds, strangely passive and not making you feel so inspired." The song was nominated for the "Best Songs in Game" award at the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards.
Music video
The music video for Castle of Glass was recorded on August 1, 2012 and contains footage from the first-person shooter video game Medal of Honor: Warfighter . It was released on Linkin Park's YouTube channel, linkinparktv, on October 10, 2012. The music video showed a young man being told that his father had been killed in action. She and her mother grieve over death when fallen SEAL teammates and their families try to cheer them up. The band is shown playing in a storm where broken pieces of glass surround the band. Towards the end of the boy's passing his father's treasures, fast forward to him (played by Marine Corps veteran Scott Levy) into a SEAL, just like his father before him. At the end of the video, we saw the man who told a girl the sad news of her family members, because she also cried. The video suggests the boy and the girl are the Rabbit family, who died in the previous game and his teammates became Mother and Priest. In accordance with the philosophy of Medal of Honor, Castle of Glass highlights the emotional realities of soldiers and their families facing away from the battlefield. The video ends with a quote from Winston Churchill, shown in all capital letters:
All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

The band portion of the music video was filmed entirely in front of the green screen, with production handled by Mothership and Digital Domain. Post-production relies heavily on CGI and After-effects animations. Special effects have prominent usage in this music video, and also continue the messy world motives, like the previous Living Things video video. One of them is Mike Shinoda's opening shot, starting with a shot down, moving upwards until the surrounding wall begins to collapse. The music video also takes on animated suspended animation, which sees the object in a fixed position in the air, literally suspended, with the central subject being animate at this fixed point of time.
