The album has received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Tim Sendra of AllMusic was positive with his review, praising her "fine singing voice" and her "songwriting chops". He comments on some of the songs: "Ready or Not" is the best track by far with a very catchy chorus, "Hurricane" has clever fairy tale lyrics and an impassioned vocal (and a sassy rap section), "Blonde" is a little clichéd but ends up as a convincing argument that hair color isn't a gauge of brains, and "Rocks at My Window" is a witty and fun love song with a big beat. Apart from the very moody and vocally powerful "5:15", the ballads aren't particularly memorable, though, and the album is bogged down by similar-sounding arrangements and song structures that don't do Mendler's voice and breezy style any favors. He concluded the album, saying "Still, it's an impressive debut from a singer who shows real talent and has every chance to break out of the Disney mold and do something all her own down the road." [40] Xinhua of Spin or Bin rated the album 3 out of 5 stars and praised the "catchy tunes" of the songs and her "surprisingly capable vocals" but concluded: "Honestly, with the industry dominated by Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato and Cher Lloyd at the moment, it's really going to be quite hard for a breakout artist to pit herself against the pop princesses, even with a pretty solid album like Hello My Name Is... but I'm really enjoying the songs on here, and will be on the lookout for Bridgit Mendler in the next year or so. She could just surprise us." [44] Jessica Dawson of Common Sense Media gave a positive review of the album and rated it four out of five stars and praised the clean lyrics of the songs. [41] Hailey Sager of Musiqtone gave an acclaimed rating of four-and-a-half stars out of five and praised her "vocal range" and the "powerful and lyrics" of the songs. She concluded that "Mendler has an amazing voice" and that she said that the album "is one of my favorite albums of 2012 because it has a lot of relatable material, and it is also an enjoyable album."

However, hiddentrack of AbsolutePunk gave a mixed review and rated the album 47% out of 100% and was not sure "whether she wants to be the next Taylor Swift or Cher Lloyd or even Kesha." He also said that the album "really lacks any direction at all." But he did praise the lead single, "Ready or Not", describing it as "catchy" with "a big chorus, handclaps and fluffy lyrics that lack substance, but it works." [39] Sherman Yang of MSN also gave a mixed review and gave the album two-and-a-half stars out of five; He praised "Ready or Not" for its "catchy chorus", and he described it and "Forgot to Laugh" as "fun and happy tracks that kids can party to but with sadly bimbotic lyrics." He also noticed that after listening to the first two tracks, "the tracks start to sound the same after a while with their seemingly similar melodies and arrangements." He concluded that "Mendler either needs to find some inspiration to write better songs or cover other artists' works because her songs sound the same after a while. It seems rather likely at this point that the singer might be headed down the path to nowhere." [42]
