    As a Ringo fan, overall it's a disappointing record. I think they could have picked a better John Lennon song to cover. It's just really average compared to the great Ringo records RingoRama, Vertical Man, liverpool 8, Choose Love... Don't know what I was expecting, he's nearly 80. There's some enjoyment to be had here though. My favourites are Magic, Better Days, It's a bit worse thanAs a Ringo fan, overall it's a disappointing record.

    Nobody's pretending that this album is a masterpiece, but it's convivial. [Dec 2019, p.85]

    Often, his good cheer comes across as corny, a situation accentuated by the big, bright surfaces -- it's the work of pros who are working at home, seeking only to please themselves. As the spirits are sunny and the songs tuneful, it's hard not to find What's My Name ingratiating, even though much of the album is so good-intentioned, it's silly.

    As is the case with most of his releases the past decade or so, Ringo addresses his own career with a heavy dose of nostalgia. [Dec 2019, p.32]
