 Andy Kellman of AllMusic praised "Blindfold Me" for its "anthemic kink", but criticized its placement on the album, writing it "drops directly into a misty-eyed ballad".In a negative review, Sal Cinquemani of "Slant Magazine" panned "Blindfold Me" as an attempt to recapture the success from "Milkshake", and wrote the newer song was "far less catchy and witty" than the previous single.
