AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine opines: "I Know That Name glides by on a mellow, soulful groove ... It's easy-rolling and even-handed, offering no surprises but plenty of comfort if you've ever been a fan of any of Carrack's work over the years." [1]
William Pinfold of Record Collector notes that I Know That Name "should further bolster [Carrack's] reputation as a first-rate singer, songwriter and keyboardist...an album of mature, well-performed modern soul and soft rock."[2]
