s Jordan Julian said, "Though by no means a substitute for comprehensive sex ed, the Janelle Monae-narrated series provides adults with a valuable supplement to whatever knowledge they may (or may not) have gleaned from school and experience."

Ashlie D. Stevens of
Salon
described the series as an "entertaining and informative start to some more adult-oriented sex education." Stevens also noted how the series reflected the strength of the

Sex, Explained
excels in finding a voice that is smarter than it is steamy, which isn't a surprise if you've watched the
Explained
Netflix series that preceded it."
