Russ Musto of All About Jazz wrote that Nothing Serious "may be Roy Hargrove's best disc yet", and has "beauty and drama, eliciting passionate playing from each of the group's members".[4]
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated: "This is a solid date, full of finger-popping tunes, great twists and turns and spontaneity."[1]
JazzTimes's Andrew Lindemann Malone commented that on the album, Hargrove "gives talented musicians room to do their thing, creates a cohesive sound and (last but not least) plays his ass off on the trumpet."[5]
Jeff McCord of Texas Monthly noted that Hargrove's "playing brims with confidence and vigor" throughout the album.[3]
