Critical reception

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2023)

Oh No received a Metacritic score of 82 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim". Rob Arcand of Tiny Mix Tapes emphasizes the importance of footwork to the album, and refers to it as a "joyous, envious, celebratory collapse" that "vaults across an infinity of cultural milieus to find itself." Writing for Resident Advisor, Matt McDermott was favorable to the album overall but said that it "falls short of Lanza's own standards." For AllMusic, Andy Kellman praised Lanza's "zest," compared the title track to "Oops (Oh My)", and expressed that the album combined techno-pop, juke, boogie and electro.
