 Robert Copsey of the website Digital Spy called the song an "electro-thumping number with euphoric synths and uplifting melody" which according to him further drew comparison to Gaga's own song "Born This Way". Copsey further stated that "This is no bad thing, as it's less in-yer-face, and it's' M-m-m-marry the night 'hook is equally as catchy." Awarding the song with four out of five stars Lewis Corner of the same website wrote: "' I 'm gonna marry the night / I won't give up on my life / I 'm a warrior queen, live passionately, tonight,' GaGa calls out over a suitably grand introduction of deistic bells and rumbling techno synths – the result not to dissimilar, we imagine, to Paul Van Dyk playing an organ at a wedding ceremony. Defiant and epic, the track feeds into Stef's cult-focused fan base like a prophet calling upon their disciples – and given it's the single they 've been waiting for, we have no doubt they'll come in their droves."
