Critics of the Trouser Press felt that extensive touring had given the band "muscle and maturity" and noted the overall live feeling of the album.[2] Allmusic critic Jason Ankeny criticized the album of lacking focus due to excessive experimentation. Despite this he gave it four and a half out of five stars, calling the high points of Hot Chocolate Massage "sublime" and "daring and eclectic"[1]
