Freedom du Lac of the washington post said that even though Gaga turns somewhat serious while disapprovingly singing "Paparazzi", the song comes across as flat and faceless as well as vapid.

Erika Howard of the new times broad walk beach called it the most telling track from the album.
Jon Caramanica of the new york times said that "'Paparazzi' is a love letter from camera to subject but stops short of admitting that the affection runs both ways. Any notion that Lady Gaga is sketching an elaborate stunt is stopped cold at the lyric sheet, a perverse flaunting of simplicity that betrays no cynicism whatsoever. Pitchfork media ranked 'Paparazzi' number 83 on their list of 2009's 100 best tracks
