Critical reception

[edit]

Upon its release, the song received mostly positive reviews.[3] Robbie Daw of Idolator contended, "Come Alive" lives up to its title, as it offers a more mature aesthetic than previous Hilton offerings — and, in all seriousness, she's also showing growth as a vocalist this time around."[4] Lucas Villa of AXS also commended Hilton's serious approach to music, writing, "[s]he puts herself in the pop star lane once again with this dreamy slice of electronica."[5] Elizabeth Freda of E! Online remarked the video as "insanely amazing" in her review, and then went on to list what she called "The Twelve Greatest Moments" of the video, some of the things she praised in the video included Paris' choice of clothing and the scenery.[6]

Nolan Feeney of Time magazine compared sequences in the video to Katy Perry's "California Gurls" video, Basking in the red glow of a sunset while sporting voluminous hair in an open meadow like Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World)" and Shakira "Empire", Black Swan inspired Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, a real-life Lisa Frank folder and Pokémon's Suicune.[7] As well as comparing it to Masters of Sex opening credits sequence and Britney Spears' perfume fragrance ads.[7]
