I wouldn't say that it's a great song for either of them, but in the vein of James Bond theme songs, it isn't bad at all. It kind of seems like a throwback to the original Bond scores, but with (obviously) some JW guitars and some tinkling ivories.
For the most part, James Bond themes make whoever is singing them sound bad (Garbage, Duran Duran, I'm looking your way), a notable exception being Paul McCartney's stab at it in 'Live and Let Die', so I'll give this song some credit for not completely making me want to choke a small child.
So, like Rolling Stone, I'll give 'Another Way to Die' a token two stars out of five and go eat some peanut M&Ms. Mmmm...

Although Shirley Bassey is rolling in her grave. "Diamonds are Forever" and "Goldfinger" are classics. "Another Way To Die"... not so much.
