The album peaked at sixteen on the U.S. Billboard 200 and reached the second spot on the R&B Albums chart.
Ron Wynn of Allmusic noted the album's aesthetic being the same as when Sermon was still in EPMD; "fat, crunching basslines, neatly inserted samples lifted mainly from Zapp, tight vocal edits, and Sermon's mush-mouthed, deadpan raps." Wynn ended his review stating that "No Pressure is as much, if not more, EPMD's final release as Erick Sermon's debut."
"—" denotes releases that did not chart.
