Reception
Dressed to Kill peaked at #32 on the US charts and was certified Gold by the RIAA on February 28, 1977. "C'mon and Love Me" and "Rock and Roll All Nite and She (Kiss song)" were released as singles. Both failed to rise up the charts until "Rock and Roll All Nite" was released in its live format as a single later that year off their live album Alive! and reached #12 on the singles charts.
"Rock and Roll All Nite" is one of Kiss's most well known songs and remains a permanent staple in the band's concerts. Since 1975, there has not been a single Kiss concert that did not feature "Rock and Roll All Nite". Despite all the attention the song now has, it wasn't quite famous at all upon its original release on Dressed to Kill. Only after it was released as a single on Alive!, their first live album, did the song become a well known hit. There are several other songs that are still played from Dressed to Kill such as "She", "Rock Bottom" and "C'mon and Love Me".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
