"seventeen" called it "classic ke$ha", while robbie daw of "idolator" said, "[i'm] getting a 'if you’ve heard one ke$ha song, you’ve heard 'em all' vibe, which is unfortunate." in an interview with "rolling stone", she said she intended to craft songs in the 1970s "cock rock" genre, but daw felt that her lackluster vocal delivery neither departed from her previous sound nor lived up to the hype. "rolling stone" said that "die young" is "the ke$ha we know and love," and that "it sounds sorta exactly like taio cruz". august brown of the "los angeles times" agreed, saying the single was, "...no major departure from her classic template of ravey pop spiced with gum-smacking raps and occasional vocal acrobatics." further, she wrote that "die young" had a "stock-and-trade" message, with the title being, "...a fate... less like a thing to be avoided, and more like the goal is to live fast and leave a good-looking corpse." marc hogan of "spin" wrote that kesha's usual idiosyncrasies of punk rockers downing shots, transparent in even her worst songs, did not appear on "die young", announcing that "this one feels a bit more, well, blah than her previous hits." perez hilton posted the song to his blog with the title "ke$ha's new single die young is a killer!", and said, "...[it] has us getting up and dancing like there's no tomorrow." contactmusic.com noted the song's success on twitter, where fans tweeted their appreciation. the reviewer also acknowledged hogan's negative review, saying that a few more plays would convert him to the song. indie music blog "stereogum" said the song was "glorious", "establishing ke$ha as one of the industry's best new pop songwriters". sarah polosky of "vibe" said the song's production worked like water, with the message being steadfast, and the beats dangerously addictive. on the lyrics video, she noted similarities between k-pop singer, psy's 2012 hit, "gangnam style". the song's major similarity to flo rida's "good feeling" has been acknowledged by "billboard". the song has also been compared to "domino" by jessie j and "teenage dream" by katy perry. all three songs have also been produced by dr. luke. conversely, jessica sager of "pop crush" made the same comparisons, and also praised the lack of auto-tune in "die young". another source to acknowledge the similarities is mtv saying, "so do we think "die young" is pushing [kesha] toward new sonic heights? not particularly." "entertainment weekly" critic ray rahmen lent "die young" a positive review, saying it had all "the pop swag of a high-school girl sneaking a bottle of smirnoff ice into prom," before praising the song's remix potential. bill lamb of about.com was very positive of the song, giving it five out of five stars and claiming the song "defines the moment in pop music" and calling it "flawless".
