David Jeffries of AllMusic praised the song as one of the album's "big, vibrant, well-crafted productions", commenting that both "Double Vision" and "Déjà Vu" "might as well be Katy Perry singles".[2]

Mainstream Top 40 chart, peaking at number 37.[4]

In Canada, the song peaked at number 49 on the Canadian Hot 100 on July 3, 2010.[5] On July 11, 2010, "Double Vision" peaked at number 42 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.[6]
