Body Wishes has received poor reviews. Rolling Stone magazine,at the time of its release,gave it 2 out of 5 stars,calling it "his latest and surely one of his least",although they did praise the opening song,"Dancin' Alone",calling it "a Chuck Berry-styled Rock &Roller that is both lively and witty". Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic retrospectively gave the album 1.5 out of 5 stars,calling it "one of Rod Stewart's worst efforts." In the same review,"Baby Jane" and "What Am I Gonna Do (I'm So in Love with You)" are described as "first-rate,synth-laden pop/rock filler" only sounding "substantial" in comparison to the other songs on the album.
