Lindsay Zoladz from Vulture similarly felt that the track seemed like "a bit of a throwaway" until the release of its clip. She emphasized how its video was in line with the overall aim of the album ''Beyoncé'' to disassemble the idea of the singer being a perfectionist, but somehow assert she is "a little bit fresher than you". Zoladz concluded her review by summarizing the clip as "aspirational chilling, carefully curated fun, a [[GoPro]] feminist utopia... a glorious ode to goofing off with your ladies".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vulture.com/2014/11/album-review-beyonc-platinum-edition.html|title=3 of the New Songs on ''Beyoncé: Platinum Edition'' Are Great|publisher=Vulture.

He described it as the singer's routine on a Friday night and further praised Jay-Z and Blue Ivy's appearances.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014/11/22/beyonc_711_music_video_the_singer_films_herself_dancing_in_the_bathroom.html|title=Beyoncé's New Music Video Stars Her Backup Dancers, Some Bathroom Dancing, and a Selfie Stick|work=[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]]|publisher=[[The Slate Group]]|first=Sharan|last=Shetty|date=November 22, 2014|access-date=December 3, 2014|archive-date=December 3, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141203120824/http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014/11/22/beyonc_711_music_video_the_singer_films_herself_dancing_in_the_bathroom.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Justin Block of ''Complex'' praised the fact that most of the dance moves were not coordinated enough, further praising Beyoncé for using an "ubiquitous 'selfie-stick' to bring more private moments of her life into the fold".<ref name="ubiquitous" /> Joey Guerra from the ''Houston Chronicle'' felt that the video was not "groundbreaking in any level" but noted it was intentionally not supposed to be.<ref name="HC" />
Daniel Kreps from ''Rolling Stone'' felt that unlike the rest of the music videos found on the album ''Beyoncé'', which seemed like [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] production, the clip for "7/11" was "refreshing" and "successfully operate[d] on a low budget". Kreps finished his review calling the "well-shot, spryly edited" video one of the more personal in the singer's career.<ref name="blue">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/watch-beyonces-mesmerizing-personal-7-11-video-20141122|title=Watch Beyonce's Mesmerizing, Personal '7/11' Video|magazine=Rolling Stone|publisher=Wenner Media|first=Daniel|last=Kreps|date=November 22, 2014|access-date=November 24, 2014|archive-date=November 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141124164634/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/watch-beyonces-mesmerizing-personal-7-11-video-20141122|url-status=live}}</ref> Caitlin White of MTV News somehow echoed his opinion writing that the intimate clip showed a new side of the singer and contrasted its "carefree, casual vibes" with the rest of the album's choreographed videos.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2006141/beyonce-7-11-video/|title=Watch Beyonce Dance All Over The House In Just Socks And Underwear For The '7/11'Video|publisher=MTV News.
