What's Wrong with This Picture? is the second album by singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Andrew Gold. It was released in 1976 on Asylum Records. It includes the hit single "Lonely Boy" which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard singles chart featuring Linda Ronstadt on backing vocals.
AllMusic's James Chrispell said the album "continued in the same vein as Andrew Gold's first release" and concluded "[s]ophomore jinx aside, this is a very satisfying album."
Rolling Stone's Ken Tucker called the album "a disappointment" in light of the "fast, smart pop songs" on Gold's debut album. Stating that while "Gold's guitar playing remains commanding… inventive and moving" it cannot overcome "the weakness of the material."
All songs written by Andrew Gold, except where noted.
