Style
The Daily Newss Michael Korb wrote, "Confessions is a little more risque than traditional Lifetime fare -- considering that Hobbs and friends are dancing around in their underwear for a significant portion of the film". Brad Newsome agreed, stating in The Sydney Morning Herald, "This is a little racier than the usual Hallmark fare." Robert Philpot said the film "continues [Lifetime's] August series of lurid-topic movies".
Reception
Steve Pratt criticized the film in The Northern Echo, writing, "No full frontals in Confessions Of A Go-Go Girl [...] a 2008 TV movie of numbing boredom – even in fast forward mode."
