All by Myself is the debut solo studio album by American multi-instrumentalist Rikk Agnew, released in 1982 by Frontier Records. It was produced by Agnew himself, and co-produced by the then-Adolescents producer Thom Wilson. Agnew played all the instruments on the album.
Critical reception
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Ned Raggett gave the album three and a half out of five stars and wrote that "Possessed of a good mid-range punk voice -- no sneering or bellowing, not really singing but not just talking over the songs either -- he creates the same basic rush he brought to his early stints in the Adolescents and the faster Christian Death songs he [had] worked on, but with a slightly poppier bent at points that perfectly balances sass and strength, while not being afraid to experiment from time to time either".
