Writing for laut.de, Dani Fromm wrote that My Name Is Luca was a hastily assembled DSDS compilation lacking any distinct artistic profile, stating: "No edges, no corners, no vocal volume. Nothing!" She emphasized its immediate forgettability and criticized Dieter Bohlen's formulaic production and clichéd lyrics, concluding: "No charisma, no unique selling point. Nothing!"[1]
