AMG Review of What's Your Name
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideWhat's Your Name finds Adam Sandler turning in his first album comprised entirely of songs. Of course, Sandler hasn't abandoned comedy; he's simply turned into a musical parodist. Surprisingly, he's better at this than standup -- "The Lonesome Kicker" is a wicked send-up of Bruce Springsteen -- but his humor remains simplistic, juvenile, and occasionally vulgar. In other words, Sandler may display a few new tricks, but it's not enough to win new fans, even if What's Your Name will satisfy his legions of followers.
