Mark Halpin at The Guardian noted that, the album is the Canadian indie pop band's, second album to be recorded in the United States, "with obvious debts to K's self-titled, ubiquitous 1996 debut" and that, "If it's not immediately clear what to expect, consider The Book of K" as it "grows on you... like one of those little shrubs that spring up overnight in a pot of water in your house.

Impressive.

He also writes that, "My Name Is K is their second album and – bar "Our Song" – is noticeably different to K's debut; a neo-psychedelic reflection on the aftermath of a break-up."

He adds that "The mix of rhythms on the album reveals a range of influences from shoegaze to Krautrock, but also encompasses 21st-century indie.

The soaring folk ("Stranger", "As Are You", "Last Thing You Want To Do") and dusky neo-noir (Low, La Roux) come together for the best tracks on the album... The album is excellently produced, highlighted by the trio's strongest moment: "Blessed Day", which has all the charms of slowcore, all the charm of bluesy rock and the mix of grooves of garage rock."
