==Critical reception==

"Underneath Your Clothes" received good critical reception as it represented "a large part of Shakira's style". While calling her voice "odd", Chuck Taylor of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' wrote that it "dart[s] from a delicate, girlie, [[Jewel (singer)|Jewel]]-like delivery to a determined, tough-chick croon - it certainly gives the song a signature edge and multiple layers that seem to draw out something new with each successive spin."<ref name=billboardreview/> Lisa Oliver of ''[[Yahoo!

==Music video==

===Background and storyline===

[[File:shakiunderneathvid.png|thumb|right|Shakira and former boyfriend [[Antonio de la Rúa]] in the music video. His appearance in the music video caused controversy in Argentina.]]

American [[photographer]] [[Herb Ritts]] [[Music video director|directed]] the [[music video]] for "Underneath Your Clothes", his last music video directorial effort before his death in December 2002.<ref>{{cite newsmagazine|last1=Saraceno|first1=Christina|title=Herb Ritts Dies|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/herb-ritts-dies-20021227|access-date=11 September 2014|workmagazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=27 December 2002}}</ref> It starts with a [[black-and-white]] scene of a reporter asking Shakira how she feels about crossing over into the English-speaking music market, and the singer, ironically, answers him in Spanish. Shakira claimed in her "MTV Making the Video" of the song that the "Crossover" claims had been her daily bread, and that she heavily at wished for this to be included into the video. The video illustrates her loneliness as a music artist when she goes on tour. Then, scenes of the singer performing the song live with her band and passionately hugging her boyfriend (played by her real-life then boyfriend [[Antonio de la Rúa]]) are shown.<ref name=latinpost/>

===Reception===

The appearance of Antonio de la Rua in the video led to music retailer [[Tower Records (music retailer)|Tower Records Argentina]] banning sales of her albums in the country.<ref name=underneathargentinabanbillboard>{{cite webmagazine|title=Shakira Banned By Argentinian Record Chain|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/76520/shakira-banned-by-argentinian-record-chain|workmagazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|access-date=16 November 2013}}</ref> The reason behind the ban was that de la Rua's father [[Fernando de la Rúa]], who was the President of Argentina at that time, had resigned "in the midst of [[1998–2002 Argentine great depression|profound economic and political turmoil in the country]]", and the decision to ban sales of Shakira's albums was a "direct protest against Antonio De la Rua - not Shakira".<ref name=underneathargentinabanbillboard />

==Live performances==

To promote the single, Shakira went on to a number of places. She performed the track on the television programs ''[[CD:UK]]'' , ''Domingo Legal'', ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]'', ''[[Total Request Live|TRL]]'' and the ''[[Party in the Park|2002 Party in the Park]]'' event at [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]] among others.
