Critical reception

The song received critical acclaim from Radio.com, who praised Del Rey's vocal performance and said, "'Salvatore' has a wending, almost woozy, style to it. It's a slower track compared to many of the others she's already released off the album, but it keeps with the album's overall dark almost macabre–march towards some fateful end."[11]
