This fourth studio album from Lana Del Rey has her trademark languid, world-weary, wounded poetic purr, but this album also has contributions from guest artists including the ever green Stevie Nicks that add an interlude to Lana’s usual landscape of smooth hypnotic ultra-glide, laconic tempos, and shimmering, lush sweeping arrangements. The Daily Telegraph stated that the album "lets a bit of light into the darkness of Del Rey's moody past works," noting that "there's a sense of heightened drama in punchy Phil Spector style sixties backbeats and the way the heavy timpani crisscrosses with echoing digital trap beats, all swathed in a gauzy haze of Shangri Las style girl group harmonies. Thurston and Pop became good friends during the tour, although Pop still suffered from bouts of alcohol and cocaine use, as well as financial troubles. In a positive review from GQ magazine, Kevin Long wrote that "Like Lorde's Melodrama, Lust for Life is an accomplished piece of art, an antidote to the banal tunes permeating the charts and one of the best albums released this year so far.Another significant producer that worked with Del Rey on Lust for Life is composer and producer Dean Reid, who also had previous instrumentation credits on " Dark Paradise".

Lust for Life features recurring trap rhythms, classic rock references, "sepia-toned" orchestral backings, and Del Rey singing with a "hip-hop affectation".
