''Slip It In'' has received mixed reviews over the years. Shortly after its release, Ira Robbins of ''[[Trouser Press]]'' dismissed the album, writing that it "blurs the line between moronic punk and moronic metal. Songs are mostly built on trite riffs repeated endlessly; the rude lyrics of the title song are performed complete with enthusiastic sex noises for anyone who fails to grasp the point and/or be offended by it."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Black Flag|url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/black-flag/|access-date=2021-11-29|website=Trouser Press|language=en-US}}</ref> [[Robert Christgau]] was also quite negative, despite reserving some praise for the song "You're Not Evil".<ref name="CG"/> 

In retrospective reviews, John Dougan of [[AllMusic]] wrote that while the album was a bit better than its predecessor and featured "increasingly avant-garde and exciting" guitarwork from Greg Ginn (which was compared to [[James Blood Ulmer]]), it "still wanders a bit".<ref name="allmusic"/> Brandon Sideleau of Punknews.org calls it "a classic and a landmark for independent music." He defends the title track, calling it a "punk metal masterpiece often unfairly seen as sexist, when in reality it's quite the opposite. Greg Ginn's lyrics are raunchy and angry, but the song is more about people and their choices than anything else."<ref name="slip it in">{{cite web|last=Sideleau|first=Brandon|url=https://www.punknews.org/review/4312/black-flag-slip-it-in|title=Slip It In|website=Punknews.org|date=August 28, 2005|accessdate=August 5, 2018}}</ref>
