Critical reception
Brittany Spanos from Rolling Stone complimented the track and described it as a "breezy, hypnotic love song". Winston Cook-Wilson, in his review for Spin, wrote that "365" was "a featherweight piece of pop-house that luckily does not sound like every other Zedd song the producer has released in recent memory".
Michael Love of Paper praised "365", calling it "a pretty solid pop tune from Zedd and Perry, which of course, is what also helps you stay till the end."

Additionally, the song reached number one in Israel and Bulgaria, as well as the top ten in Lebanon, Netherlands, Argentina (Anglo Airplay), United States (Hot Dance/Electronic Songs), Australia (Dance), Mexico (Airplay), Netherlands and Lithuania.

Music video The music video, directed by Warren Fu, was released alongside the song on 14 February. It depicts Perry as a robot and Zedd as a human test subject, where an experiment is conducted to test the two living together. The robot starts falling in love with him, but he does not love her back and distances himself from her. She begins to malfunction because of her heartbreak and is deprogrammed.
Reception Michael Love Michael of Paper acclaimed the themes and cinematography of the music video. He commented: "Definitely worth crying over if that's what society comes to." Corinne Heller from E! wrote that in the video, "Katy Perry plays a creepily obsessive android." Sam Moore of NME described the video as "sci-fi-indebted". Winston Cook-Wilson of Spin stated that "Mostly, one just wonders if the money could have been spent better."
