"rolling stone" stated jackson's super bowl performance "is far and away the most famous moment in the history of the super bowl halftime show". "popcrush" called the performance "one of the most shocking moments in pop culture" as well as a "totally unexpected and unforgettable moment". "gawker" ranked the performance among the most recent of the "10 shows that advanced sex on television", commenting the set "had all the elements of a huge story" and "within seconds the world searched furtively for pictures", concluding "it remains so ubiquitous, it's impossible to look at a starburst nipple shield without thinking "janet jackson"". "e! online" ranked it among the top ten most shocking celebrity moments of the prior two decades. a study of television's most impactful moments of the last 50 years conducted by sony electronics and the nielsen television research company ranked jackson's super bowl performance at #26. the incident was the only super bowl event on the list and the highest music and entertainment event aside from the death of whitney houston. tv guide network ranked it at #2 in a 2010 special listing the "25 biggest tv blunders". "complex" stated "it's the citizen kane of televised nip-slips – so unexpected, and on such a large stage, that nothing else will ever come close. if beyoncé were to whip out both breasts and put on a puppet show with them when she performs this year in new orleans, it would rate as just the second most shocking super boob display. janet's strangely ornamented right nipple is a living legend, and so is justin timberlake's terrified reaction." music channel fuse listed it as the most controversial super bowl halftime show, saying the "revealing performance remains (and will forever remain) the craziest thing to ever happen at a halftime show. almost immediately after the incident, the fcc received a flood of complaints from parents who just wanted their children to enjoy a nice, wholesome three hours of grown men inflicting damaging and long-lasting pain on each other for sport. halftime shows would never be the same." patrick gipson of "bleacher report" ranked it as #1 in its list of the most "jaw dropping moments of the last decade", stating janet "changed the landscape of live television forever". gipson explained "it prompted a million mothers to cover their childrens' eyes, fathers and sons to jump out of their seats in shock and numerous sanctions by the federal communications commission, including a us$550,000 fine against cbs. talk about a halftime show that will be hard to top." the incident was also declared "the most memorable super bowl halftime show in history", as well as "the most controversial", adding "you can't talk about this halftime show, or any subsequent halftime show from here to eternity, without mentioning the wardrobe malfunction".

mtv stated, "the tearing of janet jackson's costume was unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional and was inconsistent with assurances we had about the content of the performance. mtv regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it." the network also said, "our goal with the super bowl halftime show was to produce an entertaining stage experience with a positive message about empowerment and voting. we are disappointed that this message has been overshadowed by the unfortunate incident". a statement from cbs read, "we attended all rehearsals throughout the week and there was no indication that any such thing would happen. the moment did not conform to cbs broadcast standards and we would like to apologize to anyone who was offended." viacom president mel karmazin said that while the company can be proud of 99% of what people saw on the broadcast, it understands "what a difference one percent can make". nfl commissioner paul tagliabue said the show produced by mtv, which like cbs, was owned by viacom at the time (before the two networks were respectively separated into viacom and cbs corporation, both controlled by national amusements, in december 2005), fell far short of the "tasteful, first-class entertainment" the league expected. fcc chairman michael powell, appearing before a senate panel, called the super bowl incident "a new low for prime time television". joe browne, executive vice president of the nfl, said, "we were extremely disappointed by elements of the mtv-produced halftime show. they were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was given about the show. it's unlikely that mtv will produce another super bowl halftime." an hour-long mtv documentary titled "making the super bowl halftime show" was scheduled to premiere the following week but was canceled before it ever aired and has never been broadcast subsequently.
