Upon its release, "American Made Music to Strip By" was met with a mixed critical reception. Though some tracks received praise for their updated sound, others were seen as simply redundant or predictable. The project received minimal promotion leading to its release, and debuted at number thirty-eight on the "Billboard" 200 chart in the United States. "American Made Music to Strip By" has gone on to sell over 300,000 copies worldwide since its initial release. The album was followed by the promotional vinyl "Spookshow Baby Remix-a-Go-Go", released on November 30, 1999. The vinyl release featured five remixes, four of which were included on "American Made Music to Strip By" and one new remix of "Spookshow Baby".
