I'm Not Your Man received positive reviews from critics upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 80, based on 15 reviews. [3]
Comparing it to Hackman's debut album, Rob Hughes of Uncut said, "I'm Not Your Man is a much rowdier navigation of female relationships and sexuality that moves between dark dreampop and post-Belly/Breeders rock, armed with flashing hooks." [13] Andre Pain of the Evening Standard said, "Hackman has come of age on this arresting and emotionally charged album." [14] Chris Taylor of The Line of Best Fit praised the album, writing, "Her new found confidence comes through in spades here and the end product is a record that shines with a captivating vibrancy. Often mislabeled and perhaps underestimated, Marika uses I'm Not Your Man to break out of that pigeonhole she was put into with gusto." [15]
Chris Catchpole of Q wrote, "It's too long, but otherwise is an unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable artistic left-turn." [12] In his review for Mojo , Andrew Perry wrote that "the record increasingly drifts into hazy, slo-mo dream-pop, which inescapably pales beside the bolder tracks upfront." [8]
