The Globe and Mail called the album "mature and vivid music, always ingenious and sometimes brilliant."[11] The Windsor Star wrote that the Lounge Lizards "sound as if their music is written by a contemporary Kurt Weill for a Fellini movie without them ever taking their tongues out of their cheeks."[10] The Christian Science Monitor deemed No Pain for Cakes "zany weirdness and outrageous eclecticism—avant pop/jazz/rock."[12]
