[1][4][5] On September 1, 2020, Del Rey posted a video on Instagram of her on set filming the music video for "Chemtrails over the Country Club", the title track and second single from her seventh studio album, Chemtrails over the Country Club.

[9] A few days later, Del Rey performed the song alongside a cover of "Silent Night" with Jack Antonoff at the Ally Coalition Talent Show.

"Let Me Love You like a Woman" received generally favorable reviews, with many critics complimenting the songwriting but suggesting that the production was too similar to that of her previous work.

[3] In contrast, Sam Sodomsky of Pitchfork stated that the song "does not foretell a new direction" for Del Rey's music, opining that the melody "will be familiar to anyone who knows just her biggest hits" and that "the production feels like an extended coda" to the ballads of Del Rey's previous album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!

[5] In a Rolling Stone review of Del Rey's pre-recorded performance of the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jon Blistein described the dive bar setting as "dingy" but complimented other aspects of it, stating that the performance of the song "had a strong and compelling aesthetic", "like all things Del Rey does".
