Critical reception

Andrew Magilow of Splendid Magazine gave a positive review, commenting that "a buzzing keyboard riff adds to the fun, as the techno-laden groove gets you in the mood." Conversely, Heather Phares of Allmusic opined that "the potty-grade sexuality of 'Shake Yer Dix,' could give the mistaken impression that Peaches is just rehashing her previous work with less creativity."

Chart performance

"Shake Yer Dix" debuted and peaked at #97 on the UK Singles Chart, spending two weeks in the top 200. In addition, the song debuted and peaked at #27 on the Belgian Dance Chart and spent a total of two weeks on the chart.
