In a similar vein to its predecessor, Death by Sexy received mostly positive reviews, earning a rating of 72 out of 100 on Metacritic. [9] Uncut and AllMusic both gave the album four stars out of five, with the latter calling it "thoroughly trashy fun". Rolling Stone agreed, stating that at the album's high points "the sexy propulsion could light up a bar, or a strip club" though conceded that the band's debut was "slightly hookier". [10] Some reviewers weren't so enthusiastic, with The Guardian likening the band "to how Electric Six would sound if they were drinking tepid water instead of vodka" and giving the album two stars.
