Norris described the work as "weird... body horror gags [that] looked cute but were upsetting... a lot of them were about the form of comics... breaking the format".

"[5] A reviewer for Broken Frontier called Webcomic Name "an online comics phenomenon" and said "on occasion [it] can be profound in theme and message, juxtaposing joy and disappointment with a dexterous flourish... Man-spreading, accidental human contact on a tube carriage, and sex being observed by household pets are some of the daily incidents that readers may find recognisably funny.

But [it] also captures the zeitgeist with, for example, its subtle yet cutting dissection of the idiosyncrasies of our online lives or its gentle ribbing of our dependence on technology.

"[9]Since 2019, Norris has been in a legal battle with game publisher Golden Bell over the intellectual property rights to their webcomic.

Golden Bell and Alex Norris are excited to bring these exclusive products to the fans of Webcomic Name and to move forward now that these matters have been resolved."
