On aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an 20% approval rating based on five critical reviews and a critic score rating of 3.7/10 on IMDb. According to a review by Mike McGranaghan of Aisle Seat; "Strictly Confidential has a screenplay that sounds like it was written by an AI program that was taught every cheesy, straight-to-cable erotic thriller from the early '90s." Avi Offer of NYC Movie Guru states; "A clunky, convoluted and preposterous mess with enough unintentional laughs to make it a guilty pleasure. Strictly Confidential is like an erotic version of Knives Out without the comedy, suspense or Benoit Blanc." Stephen Holland of Screen Rant; "First-time director Damian Hurley delivers a disappointing erotic thriller full of predictable twists, an illogical plot, and stilted scenes." Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com; "Hurley doesn't push the picture's sauciness and he's mostly fatigued when it comes to blowing minds, but Strictly Confidential does have the novelty of a son exploiting the sex appeal of his mom for the benefit of an otherwise uninteresting whodunit."
