"They're his songs, so he can do whatever he wants with them. That seems to be the idea behind My Songs, a 2019 collection where Sting decides to revisit 15 of his most famous songs and tweak them for modern audience ... Despite the sometimes-jarring changes, the versions on My Songs still sound like the old tunes, raising the question of why Sting even bothered with this project".

"On the whole, My Songs is a hysterical act of unfiltered hubris. If you are a fan of Sting-yes, even his album with Shaggy-then you're just going to be confused and irritated. If this is your first Sting album, you might be disappointed when you go back and listen to the originals. As variants, they would be interesting to listen to as a piece of a box set, but there is absolutely no reason to listen to these on their own, with the possible exception of "Roxanne." If you want to listen to "Walking On the Moon," go listen to it on Regatta de Blanc. It's that simple".

"The greatest accomplishment to come out of this experience is everyone's reminder about how insignificant Sting has become amongst a mainstream crowd. He's not doing much to help this problem either. My Songs is a total waste of time for a variety of reasons. One of them is Sting's inability to understand that the same song he made twenty or thirty years ago will still be here in the 2010s. Fans still love and cherish those tracks, regardless of what decade it is. You don't have to remind us how great of a songwriter you were. Unfortunately, Sting's lack of self-awareness only adds to the toxicity of this album".
