It’s not as good and melody-heavy as Born To Die, and it’s not the auteurist, masterpiece-in-disguise Ultraviolence. But it’s better than Honeymoon and Paradise, and the songs here can be ridiculously enjoyable

With some more judicious editing, a good album could have been an outstanding one, but even so, this is still superior, well-crafted noir-pop that maintains Del Rey’s impressive career to date
