Pitchfork critic Eric Carr highlighted the "serene vocals" and "rich, deep melodies" present throughout No P. or D., describing the album as a "fantastically accessible" record that "can be enjoyed with as much or as little of the brain as desired."[5] Tiny Mix Tapes reviewer Wolfman wrote that he "couldn't help but feel a deep sense of inner peace" while listening to the album.[6] Jaime Vázquez of AllMusic cited Ms. John Soda's ability to create "mood" as their "greatest strength", adding: "They make recordings that can be left on as background, but the arrangements hold up to scrutiny and reveal new subtleties with each listen."[4] In a less enthusiastic review, Stylus Magazine's Kareem Estefan was critical of the band's "cautious approach" and deemed the album "good, but inessential."[2] At the end of 2003, No P. or D. was listed by Pitchfork as the year's 45th best album.[7]
