''Traces of My Lipstick'' was met with mixed to positive reviews from critics. Leo Stanley from [[Allmusic]] gave the album three stars out of five, stating "On their third album, ''Traces of My Lipstick'', Xscape pretty much follows the cue of their two earlier efforts, with only slightly diminished results. The group sounds as good as ever, bringing real soul and passion to their performances, but unfortunately much of their record consists of average, unremarkable material. There are enough strong songs (primarily the singles) to make the record enjoyable, but it simply doesn't have the same resonance as their two earlier efforts."<ref name="AllMusic"/>
