Critical reception of ''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'' in 2001 was generally positive. [[Rob Sheffield]] of ''[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]]'' was generally the most effusive of the positive reviews, praising the unpretentious attitude of the band: "As they plow in their relatively un-self-conscious way through the emotional hurdles of lust, terror, pain and rage, they reveal more about themselves and their audience than they even intend to, turning adolescent malaise into a friendly joke rather than a spiritual crisis."<ref name=rs>{{cite magazine|author=Rob Sheffield |date=June 11, 2001 |title=''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'': Review |magazine=[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]] |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/take-off-your-pants-and-jacket-20010611 |issue=871 |publisher=[[Jann Wenner|Wenner Media]] [[Limited liability company|LLC]] |location=New York City |issn=0035-791X |access-date=February 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928032607/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/take-off-your-pants-and-jacket-20010611 |archive-date=September 28, 2013 |url-status=dead |author-link=Rob Sheffield }}</ref> Darren Ratner of [[AllMusic]] felt likewise, writing that the record is "one of their finest works to date, with almost every track sporting a commanding articulation and new-school punk sounds. They've definitely put a big-time notch in the win column".<ref name="allmusic"/> ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' commended the "adrenaline-laced sonic gems reveling in Blink's patented, potty-mouthed humor, recommended only for adolescents of all ages".<ref name=people>{{cite magazine|author=Joanne Kaufman |date=June 18, 2001 |title=''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'': Review |magazine=[[People (magazine)|People]] |url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20134675,00.html |volume=55 |issue=24 |publisher=[[Time Inc.]] |location=New York City |issn=0093-7673 |access-date=February 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140330215134/http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20134675,00.html |archive-date=March 30, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> British publication ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' offered the sentiment that "when they stop arsing around for the sake of it, Blink-182 write some very good pop songs".<ref name=q>{{cite magazine|date =August 2001| title =''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'': Review|magazine=[[Q (magazine)|Q]]| page =124}}</ref>

''[[The Village Voice]]'' called the sound "emo-core&nbsp;... intercut with elegiac little pauses that align Blink 182 with a branch of punk rock you could trace back through [[The Replacements (band)|The Replacements]] and ''[[Leave Home|Ramones Leave Home]]'', to the more ethereal of early [[The Who|Who]] songs".<ref name=vv>{{cite journal|author=Phil Dellio |date=July 10, 2001 |title=''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'': Review |journal=[[The Village Voice]] |url=http://www.villagevoice.com/2001-07-10/music/what-s-my-age-again/1/ |publisher=[[Voice Media Group]] |location=New York City |issn=0042-6180 |access-date=February 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120427200319/http://www.villagevoice.com/2001-07-10/music/what-s-my-age-again/1/ |archive-date=April 27, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Aaron Scott of ''[[Slant Magazine]]'', however, found the sound to be recycled from the band's previous efforts, writing, "Blink shines when they deviate from their formula, but it is awfully rare&nbsp;... The album seems to be more concerned with maintaining the band's large teenage fanbase than with expanding their overall audience."<ref name=slant>{{cite magazine|author=Aaron Scott |date=June 29, 2001 |title=''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'': Review |magazine=[[Slant Magazine]] |url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/review/blink-182-take-off-your-pants-and-jacket/19 |access-date=February 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101022141714/http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/review/blink-182-take-off-your-pants-and-jacket/19 |archive-date=October 22, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Joshua Klein from ''[[The Washington Post]]'' felt it was stagnant, critiquing its formula and "cookie-cutter" approach.<ref name="y837"/> ''[[Kerrang!]]''{{'s}} Ian Fortnam critiqued its lack of risks, its "money-in-the-bank [[commercialism]]. [It's] eminently hummable dummy-spitting tantrum rock for the [[emo]] generation."<ref name="s255">{{cite web | title=“It’s not big, it’s not clever, but it’ll make them very, very rich”:… | website=Kerrang! | date=June 11, 2021 | url=https://www.kerrang.com/its-not-big-its-not-clever-but-itll-make-them-very-very-rich-our-original-2001-review-of-blink-182s-take-off-your-pants-and-jacket | access-date=June 4, 2024}}</ref> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' felt similarly, with David Browne opining that "the album is angrier and more teeth gnashing than you'd expect. The band work so hard at it, and the music is such processed sounding mainstream rock played fast, that the album becomes a paradox: adolescent energy and rebellion made joyless".<ref name=ew>{{cite magazine|author=David Browne|date=June 18, 2001|title=Take Off Your Pants and Jacket|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |url=https://ew.com/article/2001/06/19/take-your-pants-and-jacket/|access-date=June 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926191632/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,130871,00.html|archive-date=September 26, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> British magazine ''[[New Musical Express]]'', who heavily criticized the band in their previous efforts, felt no more negative this time, saying "Blink-182 are now indistinguishable from the increasingly tedious 'teenage dirtbag' genre they helped spawn". The magazine continued, "It {{em|sounds}} like all that sanitised, castrated, shrink-wrapped 'new wave' crap that the major US record companies pumped out circa 1981 in their belated attempt to jump on the 'punk' bandwagon."<ref name=nme>{{cite journal|author=Steven Wells |date=June 18, 2001 |title=''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'': Review |journal=[[New Musical Express]] |url=http://www.nme.com/reviews/5230 |publisher=[[IPC Media]] |location=London |issn=1049-0434 |access-date=February 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202233519/http://www.nme.com/reviews/5230 |archive-date=February 2, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

More recent reviews have subsequently been positive. Music critic [[Kelefa Sanneh]] complimented the album in a ''[[The New Yorker|New Yorker]]'' profile: "''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'' is by turns peppy, sulky, and stupid—Blink-182 at its finest."<ref name="p844">{{cite web| last=Sanneh | first=Kelefa | title=Blink-182: Punk for All Ages | website=The New Yorker | date=July 18, 2016 | url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/blink-182s-california | access-date=June 4, 2024}}</ref> Website [[AbsolutePunk]], in part of their "Retro Reviews" project in 2011, called ''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'' the band's best effort; reviewer Thomas Nassiff referred to it as "a transitory record for Blink-182, but you can't tell just by listening to it on its own. It's developed and it's full – it feels holistically complete, dick jokes and all".<ref name=abpunk>{{cite journal|author=Thomas Nassiff |date=July 26, 2011 |title=''Take Off Your Pants and Jacket'': Review |journal=[[AbsolutePunk]] |url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=2373972 |access-date=February 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130410204041/http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=2373972 |archive-date=April 10, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2005, the album was ranked number 452 in ''[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]'' magazine's book ''The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Best of Rock & Metal – Die 500 stärksten Scheiben aller Zeiten|year=2005|publisher=[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]|language=de|isbn=3-89880-517-4|page=27}}</ref> in 2021, [[Stereogum]]'s Grant Sharples felt it improved on its predecessor; "it's an endearing [[time capsule]] [...] replete with refined songwriting and incredibly infectious hooks."<ref name="z332">{{cite web | last=Sharples | first=Grant | title=Blink-182's 'Take Off Your Pants And Jacket' Turns 20 | website=Stereogum | date=June 11, 2021 | url=https://www.stereogum.com/2150366/blink-182-take-off-your-pants-and-jacket/reviews/the-anniversary/ | access-date=June 4, 2024}}</ref> Richard Blenkinsop of ''[[Reverb.com]]'' called the album "a [[Master class|masterclass]] in pop punk writing."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-04-22 |title=The Guitarists and Gear of 2000s Pop Punk |url=https://reverb.com/news/the-guitarists-and-gear-of-2000s-pop-punk |access-date=2025-04-01 |website=reverb.com |language=en}}</ref>
Conversely, Hyden, in the aforementioned [[Uproxx]] article, suggests the album is middling: "[''Take Off''] had some hits but [is] also a record no fan would ever consider their best work."<ref name="o345"/>
