"Lonely Girl" is a song by the American rock band Weezer from their ninth studio album Everything Will Be Alright in the End.
[1] A mid-tempo love song, Carolyn Menyes from Music Times described "Lonely Girl" as having "a "Buddy Holly"-like swing to the beat and the blend of heavy guitars mixed with a soft-singing Rivers Cuomo recalls distinctively The Green Album era".
[2] Ian Cohen at Pitchfork Media notes that the song "isolates the second verse of "Only in Dreams" and reworks Cuomo's Japanese curio "Homely Girl" into a legitimate buzzy throwback.
"[2] Tom Breihan from Stereogum described it as "a fine example of the sort of supercharged power-pop that this band does so well when Rivers Cuomo is feeling motivated".
[1] Slant Magazine writer Blue Sullivan notes that the song "finds the band finally casting off its slacker straitjacket".
