It has been criticised as having poor production values, and poor execution, while recognizing its intentionally camp style and its attempt as a satire. Richard Roeper of Ebert & Roeper stated, "It looks terrible. It doesn't work as camp. It doesn't work as low budget crap", Dennis Harvey of Variety Magazine also called it a "one-joke pic". In contrast, Michael Rechtshaffen of the Hollywood Reporter thought that there was something "perversely affecting" about this movie, despite its "lame political satire". And low brow film specialists Popcorn Pictures said that "Zombie Strippers is one of those films that every self-respecting horror fan has to see simply for the absurdity of it all. I can’t recommend you watch it because on most professional levels, the film is shocking. But it’s ZOMBIE STRIPPERS for crying out loud! What more do you want?"

“You took my heart in your hand
With a friendly smile,
With a critical eye you scanned,
Then set it down,
And said: It is still unripe,
Better wait awhile;”

“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
