Born Villain was released worldwide from April 30, with a cover of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" included on all editions as a bonus track. This cover was recorded after the album had been completed, and features Johnny Depp performing guitar. The pair were introduced when Manson appeared as an extra on 21 Jump Street when he was 19, although "You're So Vain" is their first musical collaboration. The cover originated from a jam session, with Manson explaining that they "started playing old blues songs and I said, 'My record's done, but we should really do a song to add to the end of it, as if it were a movie.'" He described the cover's placement on the album as: "It's like the movie's over, and this is playing at the end title credits.” It was later included on the soundtrack to the documentary West of Memphis. Dean Karr, who served as the photographer on Manson's cover shoot for the March 2012 issue of Revolver, was commissioned to create the album's cover art. He had previously worked on the artwork accompanying Antichrist Superstar. However, the cover image would later be revealed to be the work of photographer Lindsay Usich, with Karr's photography being used for the album's first single, "No Reflection". Several reviews considered Born Villain to be a comeback for the band. Matthew Horton of Virgin Media described it as "a new step forward, bristling with a vitality that Manson has no right to still have in his locker this far down the line." Similarly, Kill Hipsters called it "one hell of a comeback for a guy everyone–including myself–thought was well and truly dead and gone." Loudwire's Graham Hartmann praised the album as a whole, as did Rick Florino of Artistdirect, who said: "From top to bottom, it's Manson's most vicious and vibrant effort since Antichrist Superstar. Make no mistake about it: this is Manson at his best." Bloody Disgusting ranked it among the band's best work.
