Wilfred Okiche in his review for 360nobs described My Story as a record that "should not work on paper" but succeeds in delivering "silly music that is at once empty and danceable." He praised tracks like "Tan Mo" for Niniola’s hypnotic vocals and "Attendance" for Olamide’s playful energy, while noting some missteps, such as Mafikizolo's uninspired performance on "The Way". The album was characterized as unpretentious, sticking to DJ Spinall's strengths by delivering a "long dance party." Joey Akan of Pulse Nigeria praised My Story as "the culmination" of DJ Spinall's journey through hard work and perseverance, calling it "a win for Nigeria’s pop movement" with its balanced collaborations and contributions to feel-good moments. He highlighted tracks like "Shout Out" with Wande Coal and "Pepper Dem" with Yemi Alade as standout examples of vibrant dance music. The album received a rating of 3.5/5.
