'Lust for Life' received mixed reviews from music critics: some acclaimed its sultry production that departs from the melancholic, sad themes present in Del Rey's previous works, while others criticized its lyrics as banal and the Weeknd's vocals as whiny. It also quotes the poem 'Invictus' by the English poet William Ernest Henley (1849–1903).
