I know this article is quite old (it's from January 2012) but I think it's an entertaining read for Lana fans and an essential read especially for all those Lana haters out there – "Deconstructing Lana Del Rey". Pretty interesting stuff.

"After a dinner meeting in Los Angeles last spring, he saw her kick a cab that cut her off as she was walking away. "She cursed out the cab. I saw her do it, but she didn't see me. She was very New York in her reaction. It was irreverent and funny. She epitomizes the loose-cannon star."
 
lmaoooo that's perfect

Here's what the meanest US reactions were (according to the website below), as well as a counter from the same website with some nice reactions (including one from hipsterrunnoff, probably misinformed on that one, but the quote is nice).

I think we all agree she worked hard enough after her hype disaster that she can not be dismissed from pop music. I would say that some of the nasty reviews qualify as poor quality reviews (more about extra-musical issues than the music). Her response of letting the fans/marketplace defend her and not getting in the fray was the most appropriate. I don't think critics went as far as character assasination, but I do think personal attack is an appropriate description (I think she used those words in the recent German interviews, there are now two). Other than illuminati influence on the critics (LOL), I can't explain such reviews.
 
Some other thoughts:
 
The group of anti-fans is shrinking in number. The Paradise EP did not get dissed much. Both CDs are, in fact, charting right now.
 
Touring is a complicated. At least in Europe she's touring with her boyfriend and travelling to exotic places. I don't think her not wanting to tour the US is a reaction to bad press. More like limiting an activity that is taxing. Also she did perform in the US before her "World" tour; she just didn't do it everywhere. Praise be to Youtube (and the fans that uploaded) for letting me experience some of it.
 
Major pop artists seem to like/respect/recommend/tolerate her. They are on her side, not the critics.
 
SNL performances were controversial and not bad. Saying they were bad, like it's a fact, isn't objectively true because at least as many people liked as disliked them. I for one went back to the SNL Blue Jeans (LanaDelReyVevo?) many times because I enjoyed it. Some critics even recognize this. 
 
A possible overreaction on her part, maybe, was changing her mind about re-releasing "... aka Lizzy Grant". If critical reaction did play a role, that would be a major bummer to me. I wish she would re-release that, and release May Jailer, and also put a dent in her unreleased/leaked catalog. It's the surest way to flip the bird at reviewers, who would get brain hemorrhages trying to figure out how to review them.

Oh, how could I forget this gem.  I had to add this in.
 
 

I LOVE THIS GAME.
her hair looks greasy though :brit:

If she went through this forum, oh boy...

That's awful. I can't stand watching these autograph hunters. They don't even try to act like fans, to make themselves seem like they're not scumbags. 

Jaime king.... 
I feel like she's just a camera whore. At least when Lana's with her.


 
 
It's the dark hair. She would look 100% in everything if she just had her AUBURN HAIR AGAIN.

Neal is such a pageant mom.

I want that toe ring. 

Video!!! Set in the 20's..hmm I think Sin City 2 is set in the 20's. For some reason I've been doubting that she's also doing The Great Gatsby, but maybe she is!
 
 
Also, I'm sorry but Jaime and her husband are so awkward, like hovering lol

I want that toe ring. 

I like what she's wearing. It looks comfy as fuck 

PLEASE. BRING BACK THIS >> 

If she went through this forum, oh boy...

One day Lana will browse through all these topics and then asking her at this one : Wtf they talked about my toe-ring? It's just a ring not more and not less.

It's special alien technology to stop her reverting back to her alien form.
