During the 2004 American presidential election, Uddén was criticised for making an evaluative statement about one of the candidates on Sveriges Radio. The comment was seen as a breach of impartiality, leading to the suspension of Uddén from election coverage.

Uddén was criticized in December 2011 by Peter Wolodarski in Dagens Nyheter after she posed for a photo with two salafists she had interviewed.
