[3] "Garden of Eden" is an electro,[4] synth-pop,[3] and dance-pop[5] track co-produced by French DJ Gesaffelstein that combines influences from some of her earlier works, including The Fame (2008),[4][6] Born This Way (2011) and Artpop (2013).
[7] An "eclectic" club song, it sees the singer incorporating ideas from her "expansive career" as she "rushes into 2000s pop" with a request to follow her.
In a ranking of all songs on the album for Billboard, Stephen Daw placed it second, calling the track an "A+ pop gem" as well as a conglomeration of "all the sounds that have helped make Gaga the icon that she is".
[9] In a review for Pitchfork, Walden Green praised the track on which "Gaga invokes MDMA, nine-inch stilettos, and some good old-fashioned blasphemy, envisioning the site of original sin as a warehouse rave with God in the DJ booth.
"[10] Alexa Camp at Slant Magazine thought the track was "an attempt to revive the messy party-girl shtick" hailing from The Fame with a "shamelessness of someone half her age".
