AllMusic[2]
The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide[3]

The Boston Globe wrote: "The calypso-jazz peregrinations of Sonny Rollins and his stalking- horse tenor saxophone are heard again in his current LP, No Problem (Milestone) with special cheers reserved for the title song and his manic mischief on the Dolly Parton hit, 'Here You Come Again'."[4]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Rollins is in generally fine form but none of the compositions are all that inspiring and for these fine players this session sounds too safe and routine."[2]
