Allmusic.com gave Dressed to Kill a 4 1/2 star review:
By the release of their third album, 1975’s Dressed to Kill, Kiss were fast becoming America’s top rock concert attraction, yet their record sales up to this point did not reflect their ticket sales. Casablanca label head Neil Bogart decided to take matters into his own hands, and produced the new record along with the band. The result is more vibrant sounding than its predecessor, 1974’s sludgefest Hotter Than Hell, and the songs have more of an obvious pop edge to them. …With Dressed to Kill’s Top 40 showing on the Billboard charts, the stage was now set for Kiss’ big commercial breakthrough with their next release.
