Sep 28, 2013I have always been a fan of Ringo's music (except for perhaps the late 70's) and I think this album is the best he has had in a long time. After the split with Mark Hudson, people were expecting something new from Ringo, and that's exactly what he did. His duet with McCartney was superb and I can't wait to see what he does next.

HannahPMar 3, 2010Loved most of the songs on the album! Favorites are defiantly "Walk with you" "Time" "Other side of Liverpool" "Fill in the blanks" and "Mystery of the night" Didn't really like "Who's your daddy" I felt it didn't really fit in with the rest of the songs.

JimBFeb 7, 2010Rather unfair to cynically try to raise the average by giving it a 10, so will do justice and fairness a favour and give it an equally undeserved 0. No offense intended Ringo.

ScottW.Jan 17, 2010This new Ringo album is really the best work he has recorded in years. There's not much pop music here, just rock. It's also an fun and encouraging listen. It's nice to be able to hear Ringo still at it here in 2010.

JohnL.Jan 14, 2010I don't actually think this album is flawless, but I had to raise the average a little to do Ringo justice. It's a solid album.

At this point, Starr’s limitations as a vocalist and a songwriter are well known. But if you’ve been on the Starr trip thus far, Y Not shouldn’t jostle you off.
-
The Beatlesque affectations of Starr's recent discs have been replaced with determinedly bland '80s production, although there are still enough painfully underwritten peace 'n' love aphorisms to make even a Rip Van Winkle hippie wince.

His 16th studio album, Y Not--recorded with a cast of all-stars including Paul McCartney and Joss Stone--is full of straightforward, sweetly melodic tunes, most of them about Starr's abiding optimism.
