Since its release, the song has appeared in several critics' lists. Club called 'Ribs' the 'best illustration of gift,' while Jon Hadusek of Consequence of Sound placed it as one of the album's essential tracks in his review. Sawdey also compared the 'steady club beat' that plays 'underneath her words' to that of a heartbeat. Evan Sawdey of PopMatters called it one of the album's highlights, with the lyrics describing a 'specific mood and atmosphere'. While the publication praised its 'dark and cold' chorus, it was also critical of the 'same stacked vocals, hypnotic percussion, and synthesized production' that made the track repetitive. Pretty Much Amazing wrote a mixed review of 'Ribs', describing it as a song with 'slower, driving beats' that go nowhere. Lindsay Zoladz of Pitchfork opined that 'Ribs' was the best song Lorde had written so far. Mike Wass of Idolator praised the song's 'vulnerability' and called it an 'obtuse offering'. 'Ribs' received favorable reviews from music critics on its release. Lorde performed 'Ribs' at the Coachella Valley Music Festival and other festivals in 2017, and on her debut Pure Heroine Tour (2013РІР‚вЂњ2014) while a reworked version of the song was performed during the North American leg of her Melodrama World Tour (2017РІР‚вЂњ2018).

Lorde first performed 'Ribs' and '400 Lux' at the Greenwich Village club Le Poisson Rouge.

Consequence of Sound noted how Lorde's minimal production allowed her to sing in any melody, layering them over one another to create a choral effect. 'Ribs' is a deep house-influenced electronica and electropop song, which starts ambiently and, according to Jason Lipshutz of Billboard, features an 'exhausted-sounding Lorde growing more frantic with each passing second,' with lyrics that include the singer discovering her maturity and 'grown-up problems.' In 'Ribs', she references Canadian indie rock band Broken Social Scene's 2002 song ' Lover's Spit'. Lorde's vocals span a range of B 2 to G РІв„ўР‡ 5 and its chord progression follows a sequence of AРІР‚вЂњEРІР‚вЂњF РІв„ўР‡m 7РІР‚вЂњC РІв„ўР‡m 7. 'Ribs' is composed in the key of E major with a tempo of 128 beats per minute. 'Ribs' was written on the day of the January 2013 Auckland Laneway Festival. Lorde said ageing, which she described as 'a big stress' of hers, and 'this big party I had when my parents went away' inspired her. Problems playing this file? See media help.
