Reception

Critical reception

"Marry You" received mixed reviews from critics. Tim Sendra of Allmusic said the song was "pleasantly silly", but praised its "dynamic and nuanced production".[6] Mike Diver of BBC Music simply called it a "too-clingy and very creepy love song".[7] Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe called it an "artfully arranged throwback" love song, and said Mars' "plaintive voice aches oh so gently on [it]".[5] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly wrote that "a malt-shop heart beats beneath the digital skin of tracks like the buoyant "Marry You".[8] Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine thought the word "fuck" got replaced by "marry", referring to Cee Lo Green's hit, "Fuck You".[9] Becky Bain of Idolator was impressed with the song and described it as a "Motown marriage track".[10] Joanne Dorken of MTV UK called it "the infectious album track", and said it was a "reminiscent of something Jack Johnson would have recorded".[11] Jack Foley of IndieLondon said the song is "addictively catchy" and wrote it "marks another [one] of Mars' blatant singles in [the] waiting and reverts back to the slick love-pop of "Just the Way You Are" – namely slick beats, electronics and cheesy sentiments."[12] Editors from USA Today wrote "though [Bruno Mars] despairs about a woman who doesn't share his affection on the melancholy "Grenade", he's more than ready to give into his capricious impulses on the bubbly "Marry You".[13]
