Critical reception
The New York Times, ""Vamps & Tramps" is seldom perplexed. It is a compendium of Ms. Paglia's thoughts and media triumphs since her meteoric rise from professor to celebrity."[1]
Reason magazine, "A book by Paglia is a lot like sex itself: When it's good, it's very, very good. And when it's bad, it's still pretty good. Vamps & Tramps is a step above pretty good."[4]
Kirkus Reviews, "Those who missed them in Playboy, The New Republic, and other media can catch up with culture diva Paglia's latest performances here. The special effects are as spectacular as ever; the act, however, is getting old."[5]
