Yet another case of the star's salary being much more interesting, and exuberantly vulgar, than anything the screen reveals.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

The Striptease script... is at a loss for any kind of drama between Moore's dances. Not for a second do we care about her as a mother, wife or working woman.
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
The film's premise is thinner than the heroine's G-string.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Fresh
Bergman, who made The Freshman and Honeymoon in Vegas, provides quotable one-liners for everyone (especially Rhames), and a bevy of strippers lend colorful albeit stereotypically ditzy support.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

Men will doubtless be lured to Striptease by Moore's beautifully sculpted body. But it's the heart she puts into Erin that gives this more erratic than erotic picture the centering presence it needs.
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
