Critical reception
In a positive review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic praised Furtado's vocal style, calling her a "restless vocalist, skitting and scatting with abandon, spitting out rapid repetitions, bending notes, and frequently indulging in melismas." He also added that the album itself is a "rewarding, promising debut."

Chart performance
Whoa, Nelly! peaked at number 24 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart. In the UK, the album rose to the top ten, at number six, by it's thirty-ninth week on the chart.
