Reviewing for Thrash Hits, Hugh Platt was displeased that "after an [sic] record featuring some of his best material for nearly a decade, closing the album with the hands-off minimalism of album '15' is akin to ending on a petulant sigh, rather than the defiant final middle-finger salute The High End of Low surely deserves."<ref>[http://www.thrashhits.com/2009/05/album-marilyn-manson-the-high-end-of-low/ Album: Marilyn Manson - The High End Of Low].

In his review for The Quietus, John Robb gave a surprisingly sparse analysis of "15", although he did highlight that with its "descending riff" and its "lying-in-bed, fuck-everything sulkiness, [...] '15' drools with its own lethargic hatred."<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/01639-marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-review Marilyn Manson's High End Of Low Reviewed Track-By-Track].

{{cquote|The 15 that I also refer to has several different importances. I've noticed that a lot of you have been coming up with your theories, and most of them are correct. And I think the more that you look, the more you'll discover. Fifteen is Biblical. Fifteen is numerological. Fifteen does correspond to the album's release date. Fifteen does correspond to the number six. Fifteen does correspond to my birthdate. Fifteen does correspond to half of my age this January fifth, which is also one-five. There are a lot of very important numbers that help fulfill the prophesy that I kind of created for myself on Antichrist Superstar. Hopefully, that answers that question for you. {{Confirm}}}} | {{cquote|The 15 that I also refer to has several different importances.
