Critical reception

No Frills Friend was described by Mark Keresman of SF Weekly as "a gem of despondent, shimmering pop/folk/rock balladry". Keresman also wrote that it "retains her distinctively mournful, somewhat nasal warble and her gift for simple yet sturdy melodies" found on her previous albums. Neil Jones of Drowned in Sound described No Frills Friend as "a vocally driven record dripping with melodic richness."
