Ratings
In the sixth season, Everybody Loves Raymond increased its average viewers from 21 million in 2000 to 22 million, performing better than usual in viewership; according to network executives and Rosenthal, this was the result of the September 11 attacks, as families wanted to be comforted by seeing familiar characters in shows devoid of current event themes.

Reviews
Everybody Loves Raymond topped lists of best fall 2001 series from the Daily Herald and the Orlando Sentinel. The Daily Herald claimed that "every episode has been daring, bold and, above all, hilarious," and the Sentinel stated that "no series had more winning episodes this fall." "The Angry Family" and "Marie's Sculpture" were highlighted in both lists, with "Older Women" highlighted in Sentinel ' s and "Raybert" praised by the Herald as a new take on a "stale" sitcom setup.
