Undressed received positive reviews from the independent music press. Trouser Press noted that "the horny band's genially explicit lyrics ... cut right to the chase."[5] In a brief capsule review, AllMusic wrote that "these sex punks tunefully and loudly wag their penises and preferences about" and praised the "Byrds-influenced" "Boyfriend Wanted".[3]
