Track listing Streaming Claire Shaffer of Rolling Stone described the video as "a continuation of her " Solar Power" visual", where ", now with bleached-blonde hair, leads a cult-like ceremony under a sunlit tent, surrounded by her followers in matching jade green outfits".

In a negative review, Pitchfork described it as "less exciting than hoped for" and said that Lorde's critique of wellness culture seemed "pretty trite for someone who's previously been so ahead of the curve". Claire Shaffer of Rolling Stone called "Mood Ring" a "mellow acoustic track with only the faintest hint of percussion", sonically comparing it to the previously-released " Solar Power" and " Stoned at the Nail Salon". Writing for Billboard, Hannah Dailey called the song a "airy, guitar-led track", which "both lightly mocks the promotion of a phony holistic lifestyle and sympathizes with people who find comfort in that same lifestyle". I was like “I think there’s a pop song in here.” So this is kind of my extremely satirical look at all of those vibes. These were all things that they were dabbling in back then, and that me and my girlfriends are dabbling in today. Things like eating a macro-biotic vegan diet or burning sage, keeping crystals, reading tarot cards or your horoscope. One thing that occurred to me as a major parallel between that time and our time is our wellness culture and our culture of spirituality, pseudo-spirituality, wellness, pseudo-wellness. That really resonated to me when writing this album. I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start again. Obviously when making this album I did a deep-dive into ’60s, Flower Child culture.
