Critical reception
In a career retrospective following her 2018 studio album Be the Cowboy, Jesse Herb of Atwood Magazine said that the album "plays out like a beautiful stream of consciousness" and praised Mitski's poetic lyricism.[3]
Music and lyrics
The album's standout themes include the commodification of beauty, power dynamics in relationships, and gender roles.[3][4] The album is primarily a chamber pop album, with elements of lo-fi and punk rock.[5]
