Del Rey described the version of "Venice Bitch" featured on the song as "the grimy, heavy, original and unheard version" of the song. A fabulous tune in two contrasting but complementary parts, which manages to be exquisitely touching, tragic, yet utterly beautiful at the same time, in which Lana manages to introduce us to an unforgettable character in just a few strokes of pen and voice, and also capture the drama of lost dreams and dashed hopes which most of us have faced.

A consequence of the extended playing time with including 16 songs it may take some time to form an overview of the whole.
