Gone are the dreary days of her Born to Die sadness. "It's so sweet, / Swingin' to the beat / When I know that you're doing it / All for me," she croons, her voice sultry and seductive, the tone both transfixed and transfixing, and almost tauntingly knowing." Yiu also said that Rocky "plays so much more than second fiddle. And from it all beams an effusive self-confidence and surety that is new to her oeuvre. Odette Yiu of described the song as a "soul-folk-trap melange that gets her point across. Alexa Camp of Slant Magazine said that compared with "Summer Bummer", "Groupie Love" is more a retro-minded pop song featuring Del Rey's signature sonorous, reverb-coated vocals. Matt F of HotNewHipHop said that "Groupie Love" "captures a similar, gently warped vibe that her previous music has fostered over the years". The very first lines-"You're in the bar / Playing guitar"-should have been struck as soon as they were written." Del Rey's choruses are almost lush enough to sell a vision of vintage backstage hedonism, but she winds up tripping over the clichés she idolizes. Ana Gaca of Spin said that "'Groupie Love' relegates Rocky to a pop song's standard third verse rap feature, where any supposed romantic chemistry falls flat. Dan Weiss of Consequence of Sound criticized ASAP Rocky's contribution, saying that it "adds nothing" to the track. "Groupie Love" received mixed reviews from critics.
