Background and release

"I'm always looking for something that I haven't seen before," he told Billboard. "[Also] something that's going to make an impact [by] using simple elements but creatively so it makes people think a bit."

Composition and lyrical interpretation
"#Beautiful" is a mid-tempo and stripped down
The song opens with a verse performed by Miguel, which begins with the lyrics "Hop on the back of my bike, let the cool wind blow through your hair".[2] At first, it does not appear to sound as though it is a song by Carey, as Miguel performs the first 90 seconds.[14] Carey and Miguel embark on a motorbike cruise at sunset, as he sings about her beauty in the lyrics "let the moonlight kiss your skin".[1] After the first 90 seconds, Carey assumes the lead artist role and performs the rest of "#Beautiful".[14] Carey responds with "I like when you run red lights, don't stop till you thrill me", which Randall Roberts for Los Angeles Times thought would alarm mothers and police officers.[1] After Carey sings the line "Take me anywhere", she releases a little giggle.[1] "#Beautiful" ends with a textured layering of both Carey's and Miguel's vocals which gradually fade as the song draws to a close.[1]
Critical reception
'"#Beautiful" received positive reviews from music critics. Randall Roberts for the Los Angeles Times wrote that when he read that another music critic Maura Johnston had declared "#Beautiful" as 2013's "song of the summer" on the day its premiere, he was dismissive of the claim, and did not feel it was necessary to rush to listen to the song.[1] He expressed "skepticism and dread" at the thought, as he felt that a song with a hashtag in the title, the song being called "#Beautiful", which he feels is an over used word, Roberts branded the song as "Silly, trendy and typical" before listening to it.[1] He further wrote that when he put his headphones into his computer, he was worried that Carey would sing the word "hashtag" in the lyrics, but after listening to the song in its entirety, he proclaimed it as a "perfect pop song".[1] He was complimentary of the songs instrumental and production, and described it as "seductive".[1] Roberts also wrote that although Carey does not enter the song until a third of the way through, she matches Miguel's "glorious tone with the confidence of someone who knows she can lift her verse to equal whatever comes her way" with a "glorious tone".[1] A reviewer for Rap-Up wrote that "#Beautiful" is perfect for the summer.[16]
Jenna Hally Rubenstein for MTV Buzzworthy wrote that the song features "Miguel's soothing R&B pipes and Mariah's 1991-sounding ethereal vocals" and continued to compliment the songs overall appeal.
