Pavel Pshenov from MuseCube.org gave the song a positive review, rating it 4.5 out of 5. "If the song repeats the decent results of '[The Show is Over]', it will be expected; if it exceeds them — it will enter the 'golden fund' of domestic pop music as a non-banal and somewhat outstanding work," noted the author.

At the RU.TV Awards 2013, "No" received two nominations: Best Song and Best Music Video. The composition won in the latter category. [1]
The music video for the song was shot in July 2012. The director was Alan Badoev. [3] The video was released on August 31, 2012, on the Ello channel (YouTube).
