The album received mixed reviews upon its release, but it has since gained a cult following among fans of the band. "Undercover" showcases a wide range of musical styles, from the disco-influenced title track to the reggae-tinged "Too Much Blood." The album's production features heavy use of synthesizers and drum machines, giving it a more modern sound than the Rolling Stones' earlier work. The album also features guest musicians such as Sly Dunbar and Moustapha Cisse, who add their unique styles to the mix. One of the standout tracks on the album is "Undercover of the Night," which features a driving bassline and powerful vocals from Mick Jagger. The song's lyrics explore themes of political unrest and violence, which were prevalent at the time of the album's release. Another notable track is "She Was Hot," which features a catchy chorus and a guitar solo from Keith Richards. The song's lyrics deal with the ups and downs of a romantic relationship.

The album's title track deals with the theme of deception and hiding one's true self, while "Tie You Up (The Pain of Love)" explores the pain and pleasure of being in love. The album's closer, "It Must Be Hell," is a scathing critique of the state of the world in the early 1980s, with Jagger singing "It must be hell to be so young and to be so dumb." While "Undercover" received mixed reviews upon its release, it has since gained a cult following among fans of the Rolling Stones. The album's use of electronic and dance elements was ahead of its time and has influenced subsequent generations of musicians.
