The Calgary Herald noted that "once around, it was fun and funny ... But after four or five albums (lost track there) it's worn as thin as [singer] Tortelvis's Jenny Craig fantasies."^[6] The Toronto Star argued that "it's still a good joke, because Tortelvis combines a great voice with a truly warped sense of humor," and considered the album to be better than The Fun Sessions.^[7]

The Houston Press wrote: "The idea of a reggae band fronted by an Elvis impersonator performing Led Zeppelin cover tunes should have been, at most, a one-hit novelty. But because Dread Zep told the joke so well, they've endured and won approving nods from even those '70s survivors who thought Zeppelin sucked almost as bad as disco."^[8] The St. Louis Post-Dispatch dismissed No Quarter Pounder as "even more lifeless than its inspirations."^[9]
