The cover artwork of Future Nostalgia features Lipa in a Googie-esque retro vehicle, one that could be seen during the 1950s-themed restaurant scene in Pulp Fiction (1994). A dark sky with a blue moon, which was a stylistic choice, appears behind her. Lipa wears a 1950s-style button-down pink shirt, which is tied in a knot around her waist. Her accessories include gold hooped earrings, with a normal one in one ear and a misshaped one in the other, and numerous rings. She also wears long white gloves, which she holds the steering wheel with. Lipa has her blonde and brunette hair up in a bun.{{cite web|url=https://www.vogue.com/vogueworld/article/dua-lipa-new-album-future-nostalgia-cover-art-tour|title=Dua Lipa's New Album Artwork Is a Retro-Modern Mash Up|work=Vogue|last=Hahn|first=Rachel|date=30 January 2020|access-date=13 August 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200204211231/https://www.vogue.com/vogueworld/article/dua-lipa-new-album-future-nostalgia-cover-art-tour|archive-date=4 February 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.inquisitr.com/5863569/dua-lipa-album-artwork-future-nostalgia/|title=Dua Lipa Fans Freak Out Over Incredible Album Artwork For 'Future Nostalgia'|publisher=Inquisitr|last=Magnocavallo|first=Fabio|date=30 January 2020|access-date=13 August 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611205056/https://www.inquisitr.com/5863569/dua-lipa-album-artwork-future-nostalgia/|archive-date=11 June 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.idolator.com/7906067/dua-lipa-reveals-cover-release-date-of-future-nostalgia?chrome=1|title=Dua Lipa Reveals Cover & Release Date Of 'Future Nostalgia'|publisher=Idolator|last=Wass|first=Mike|date=29 January 2020|access-date=13 August 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200813011433/https://www.idolator.com/7906067/dua-lipa-reveals-cover-release-date-of-future-nostalgia?chrome=1|archive-date=13 August 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw6YsZhVH54|title=At Home With Dua Lipa & Her Angel Tattoo|via=YouTube|publisher=AskAnythingChat|date=4 April 2020|access-date=13 August 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200710020452/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw6YsZhVH54|archive-date=10 July 2020}}

She challenged herself to break out of her comfort zone to make music that could sit alongside her favourite classic pop songs, being inspired by Gwen Stefani, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Moloko, Blondie, and Outkast.

Critics note similarities between the tracks on Future Nostalgia and the works of Blondie, Chic, Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, Gloria Gaynor, Debbie Harry, Jamiroquai, Madonna (Confessions on a Dance Floor, 2005), Kylie Minogue (Fever, 2001), Moloko, Olivia Newton-John, No Doubt, Outkast, Prince, and Nile Rodgers. Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic described the sound of Future Nostalgia as "'70s disco, '80s dance-pop, and '90s club jams." In her review for The Independent, Helen Brown stated that Lipa "channels the zingy, electro-ambitions of the 1980s with remarkable freshness." Pitchfork{{'}}s Anna Gaca viewed it as "a collection of sophisticated, hard-bodied pop-funk that gives way to slick, [Minogue]-inspired disco." Mesfin Fekadu from ABC News regarded the album as "a collection of upbeat, dance-flavoured, power pop gems."

"Good in Bed", is a hip hop-pop hybrid, which was widely compared to the works of Lily Allen. Its production uses off-kilter jazz piano plinking, gum-popping sound effects, and lo-fi keys,{{cite web|url=https://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/227938/9|title=Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia (Album Review)|work=Stereoboard|last=Johnson|first=Laura|date=2 April 2020|access-date=8 August 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200808044517/https://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/227938/9|archive-date=8 August 2020}} with fairy-like backing vocal harmonies, and Lipa contributing high octave whispers. The album's sole explicit track, it uses bad, mad, and sad rhymes, with lyrics about a relationship where good sex is the only thing holding two people together. Future Nostalgia closes with "Boys Will Be Boys", a baroque pop and chamber pop ballad turned anthem, with gospel elements. Lipa makes use of belting and chanting, over a melodramatic melody, disco beats, layered choral arrangements, marching band drums, and orchestral strings.{{cite web|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/dua_lipa-future_nostalgia|title=Dua Lipa Future Nostalgia|work=Exclaim!|last=Garcia|first=Brad|date=27 March 2020|access-date=8 August 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200808053207/https://exclaim.ca/music/article/dua_lipa-future_nostalgia|archive-date=8 August 2020}} Lyrically, the song speaks about the growing pains girls experience and how they have to grow up so fast, taking aim at male violence, sexual harassment, toxic masculinity, double standards,{{cite web|url=https://attitude.co.uk/article/dua-lipa-futureperfect-review-pop-heaven-in-hellish-times/23090/|title=Dua Lipa 'Future Nostalgia' review: 'Pop heaven'|work=Attitude|last=Stichbury|first=Thomas|date=26 March 2020|access-date=8 August 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200623190431/https://attitude.co.uk/article/dua-lipa-futureperfect-review-pop-heaven-in-hellish-times/23090/|archive-date=23 June 2020}} and misogyny, while having empowerment and feminism themes.

Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 8.5 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus. According to Metacritic, Future Nostalgia is the 15th most acclaimed album released in 2020.{{Cite web|title=Best Music and Albums for 2020|url=https://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/score/metascore/year/filtered?year_selected=2020&view=detailed|access-date=16 January 2021|website=Metacritic|archive-date=4 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230104221337/https://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/score/metascore/year/filtered?year_selected=2020&view=detailed|url-status=live}}

Writing for NME, Rhian Daly wrote that "Future Nostalgia is a bright, bold collection of pop majesty to dance away your anxieties to... if only for a little while". Chris Taylor of The Line of Best Fit praised Lipa's direction for the album, saying "Future Nostalgia is an artist in total control. It's built on such an addictive carefree spirit that it's hard not to let loose and go with it. The greatest pop star of this generation? That's for you to decide. But Future Nostalgia makes a very convincing argument that Dua Lipa just might be". Chris Willman of Variety praised the album's musical direction, writing "after calling it a great disco record, we might also call Future Nostalgia a great MTV-era album that just happens to be not of the MTV era". Writing for Rolling Stone, Brittany Spanos also praised the album's musical direction, writing "Future Nostalgia is a breathtakingly fun, cohesive and ambitious attempt to find a place for disco in 2020".

Writing for DIY, Elly Watson wrote "this album has proved: Dua will be going down in pop history as one of the best". Laura Snapes of The Guardian complimented Lipa's choice of songs, writing "The 11-track Future Nostalgia offers neither features nor filler, and makes a strident case for Lipa as a pop visionary, not a vessel". Michael Cragg of Crack summarised the album as "packed with full-throttle choruses, supple melodies and lashings of attitude, Future Nostalgia is a neon-hued sound of one of the world's biggest pop stars smashing it out of the park". Similarly, Craig Jenkins of Vulture commended the "sturdy" songs, also writing that Minogue and Madonna are their "predecessors" sonically. Jenkins concluded that Lipa has "only scratched the surface of what she's capable of".

In his "Consumer Guide" column, Robert Christgau gave the album a three-star honorable mention and called it an "Olivia Newton-John tribute as dance smash as what-me-despair placebo, that deserves props for adding two keepers to that canon", namely the title track and "Good in Bed".{{cite web|last=Christgau|first=Robert|author-link=Robert Christgau|date=14 October 2020|url=https://robertchristgau.substack.com/p/consumer-guide-october-2020|title=Consumer Guide: October, 2020|work=And It Don't Stop|publisher=Substack|access-date=16 October 2020|url-access=subscription|archive-date=17 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201017101848/https://robertchristgau.substack.com/p/consumer-guide-october-2020|url-status=live}}
