"DJ" has been described as "mesmerizing in its listlessness" as well as being "unlike anything Anna has released" and "to what's currently being played on the radio." It was labeled a standout track by many reviewers,'' referring to the song as "a slick, sophisticated love song that hints at what this album could have been."(positive) David Balls of Digital Spy wrote, "Snubbing traditional verse-chorus-verse song structure, and beginning with spare acoustic guitar strums.

The theme of the video was the end of the world and despite the catastrophe, the population still wanting to dance as "the DJ lights up my night". The video received mixed to negative reviews from critics who praised Anna's sense of fashion but cited that the video was unoriginal.
