Del Rey evokes elements of music artists such as Elvis Presley, Britney Spears, and Antony and the Johnsons. Musically, Born to Die is a pop album but derives characteristics from such musical genres as alternative hip hop, sadcore, and alternative pop. Born to Die received mixed reviews from contemporary critics, praising its distinctive sound, while criticized the songs’ repetitiveness and the melodramatic production, which they thought was too overwhelming over the course of 12–15 tracks. Despite attracting polarization from music commentators, the album was generally a commercial success. It topped the charts in eleven countries including Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
