''DIY'' Magazine called the track, "possibly one of the most perfect indie anthems of the last decade".Joe Colly of ''Pitchfork'' reviewed "Life in San Francisco", calling it a "simple, sunny ode to the group's beloved homebase", and says there's an "undercurrent of sadness to the track" but also noting it is not as "emotionally rich as most of Girls' material".
