As of June 2020, The Girl from the Naked Eye holds a 40% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 15 reviews with an average rating of 5.45/10. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 40 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Mark Holcomb of The Village Voice gave the film a negative review, writing, "Ren is at least savvy enough to make Naked Eye's pulp inspirations plain... But there are dozens of better, riskier, more interesting films that go unreleased every year—why this militantly dull effort is taking their place is its only worthwhile mystery." Alison Willmore of The A.V. Club stated that the film's cultural twist was interesting, but ultimately called the film a derivative of Miller's Sin City.
