Critical reception
Upon release, Our Culture said, "When Lana Del Rey sings it as the refrain to 'Paris, Texas', a reworking of SYML's piano instrumental 'I Wanted to Leave', she sounds resigned and almost unrecognizable. It distills the crushing melancholy of the previous track, 'Fingertips', into something simpler and cooler, her vocals breathy yet unusually thin", further adding that "Paris, Texas" is "not the most impressive or innovative song on Del Rey's new album, Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, but its bareness renders it a standout".[1]
