" Dan Callahan of The Wrap wrote: "The main problem with The Circle is that the evil of the tech company is made so obvious right from the start." Eric Kohn of IndieWire awarded the film a C. He was especially critical of the film's tonal inconsistencies: "Recent years have seen a proliferation of deep-dive narratives on the information age, from the psychological thriller territory of Mr. Robot to the parodic extremes of Silicon Valley. Ponsoldt’s project is stuck in between those two extremes. On the one hand, it’s an Orwellian drama about surveillance society; at the same time, it’s a sincere workplace drama about young adulthood that shoehorns in some techno-babble for the sake of deepening its potential.

Ricky believes himself to be dumb, and his speech is often laced with malapropisms that fans call "Rickyisms"; he lives in a dilapidated 1975 Chrysler New Yorker (nicknamed "the shitmobile"), grows marijuana, and often displays a slovenly appearance. Bubbles wears spectacles that magnify his eyes to an unusual extent, drives a go-kart, and lives in a shed with many cats; he is the least likely to face any repercussions for the trio's illegal activities. Alcoholic trailer park supervisor and ex-cop Jim Lahey usually attempts to derail the Boys' schemes, and nearly always shoehorns the word "shit" into his cautionary metaphors that fans call "Shitisms." Randy is Lahey's assistant and lover; he never wears a shirt unless he absolutely has to and is often taunted for his large gut and addiction to cheeseburgers.

Andy Greenwald of Entertainment Weekly referred to the song as "sassy", commenting that "its talk of doctored drinks and blackout tattoos, restore Avril to her rightful place ahead of Katy Perry and Ke$ha". Marcus Gilmer of The A.V. Club praised the "spunk" exhibited on the song, describing "Smile" as "dropping a litany of curse words [with Lavigne] asserting her right to be 'a crazy bitch' who does 'what I want when I feel like it'". Margaret Wappler of the Los Angeles Times praised the song, commenting that "Lavigne is at her best when she can balance the sugar and the spice". She described the song as "the little girl fantasizing in the quiet moments after a grown woman’s excesses". According to Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine, "Lavigne refers to herself as a 'crazy bitch' on 'Smile,' trying to co-opt some of Ke$ha’s trashiness but never committing to it fully". Al Fox of BBC described the song as "spiky [and] unstable", commenting that it "shoehorns in more needless swear words than a week’s worth of late-night Hollyoaks".
