Reception

Caryn James of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "With montages of Ali meeting the Pope and Nelson Mandela, and newspaper headlines about donations to help fight poverty in Africa, What's My Name is undeniably an exercise in image-burnishing (not that Ali's already heroic image needs it). But this smartly crafted film holds you all the way."[4]

Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com wrote, "[the film] offers something even for those of us who know a great deal about the legendary athlete and civil rights leader by doing something incredibly simple: letting Ali tell his own story."[5]

Nick Schager of Variety wrote, "At almost three hours, 'What's My Name' never bogs down in repetitiveness or pedantry, instead operating almost as swiftly and forcefully as the icon himself. "[6]
