Critical reception



"Lose You" received generally positive reviews from critics. Matthew Perpetua of Pitchfork Media wrote that the song "casts aside the baggage of the Peaches persona and is better for it, and the variation in vocal technique broadens the range of the record considerably."Perpetua, Matthew (2009-05-09).

By contrast, Erin Lyndal Martin of PopMatters wrote a slightly more critical review, saying that "'Lose You' is a retro treat that wouldnt sound out of place amidst "Heart of Glass"-era Blondie, but its repetitiveness makes the three and a half minutes seem a bit longer than it is."Martin, Erin Lyndal (2009-05-07).
