Reception

The book received mixed reviews from

Dwight Garner of The New York Times was not pleased with the book by saying: "Yes Please reminds you of that squeaky fact: Even smart, hilarious people, the ones you wish were your great friends, sometimes can't write."[5]

Mary McNamara writing for Los Angeles Times was more positive about the book, and said: "Not everything in Yes Please works [...], but many things are funny, and as with most of her comedy". McNamara also said that the writing is "choppy and self-consciously eccentric" and added: "[Poehler] is a smart and funny woman who isn't either of those things all the time and doesn't mind admitting it because she thinks that's important too".[6] Rachel Dry of The Washington Post commented: "So she is funny and honest. Writing a book is hard, and that seems to be the truth. At least she made some good jokes about it."[7]
