[17] To promote the album, Dragonette embarked on a North American fall tour, which kicked off at the Red River Exhibition in Winnipeg on June 23, 2012 and ended at Babylon in Ottawa on October 20.

[7][18] Allmusic's Heather Phares wrote, "With each album they've released, Dragonette have become more confident and focused, and Bodyparts is no exception; it should please not only longtime fans, but those won over by 'Hello'—though it might leave some listeners hungering for something quite as undeniable as that single.

"[19] Greg White of So So Gay viewed Bodyparts as Dragonette's "strongest effort to date", commenting that the band "seem to have landed closer to the mark they've always been aiming for; a perfect blend of electro-pop glamour with a moderate dose of rock 'n roll swagger", although he felt that "[t]he album could use a little more variety".

[21] Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine opined that "[w]hile nothing on the album approaches the tawdry heights of past singles 'I Get Around' and 'Gone Too Far,' Bodyparts does improve in the latter half", which "showcases far more of Dragonette's distinctive personality."

He continued, "Bodyparts is the first album on which Dragonette seem like they're maybe a little bit ashamed of themselves, hiding their most sordid tales behind some overly polite, anonymous dance tracks that are uncharacteristically vanilla.
