Ринго Старр альбомындағы әннің он нұсқасы шамамен 18 минутқа созылған сессияда жазылды. Бұл топтық жаттығулар 27 наурызға дейін жалғасты. "Алты сағат" әнін аяқтаған соң, Старр өзінің шоферінен "Шаяқтап басу" әніне қолданатын шлепкелі аяқ киім сатып алуын сұрады. |rev2 = Christgau's Record Guide |rev2Score = B− | rev3 = Encyclopedia of Popular Music | rev3Score = 3/5 | rev4 = The Essential Rock Discography | rev4Score = 7/10 |rev5 = MusicHound |rev5score = 3.5/5 | rev6 = Music Story | rev6Score = 4.5/5 |rev7 = Q |rev7score = 4/5 |rev8 = Record Collector |rev8score = 3/5 | rev9 = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | rev9Score = 3/5

According to a report in Billboard magazine in late September 1973, Ringos release was delayed while work was being completed on the album artwork. On 24 September, "Photograph" was released as the album's lead single in the US, backed by "Down and Out". Apple Records released Ringo on 2 November in the US, and on 9 November in the UK. Helped by the international success of "Photograph", and speculation regarding the former Beatles working together on the same project, the album reached No. 1 in Canada, Ringo peaked at No. 1 on America's other albums charts, however, in Cashbox and Record World. The album was certified gold in America on 8 November and in Britain a month after its release there. Loraine Alterman of The New York Times described it as an "instant knockout [a] sensational album". In his review for Rolling Stone, Ben Gerson said that, on one hand, Starr's limited artistry and the abundance of star guests made the album "rambling and inconsistent", yet in terms of "atmosphere", "Ringo is the most successful record by an ex Beatle. It is not polemical and abrasive like Lennon's, harsh and self pitying like Harrison's, or precious and flimsy like McCartney's, but balanced, airy and amiable." "You're Sixteen" was released as the album's second single, backed with "Devil Woman", in the US on 3 December. On 18 February, "Oh My My" was released as a single only in the US, backed with "Step Lightly". The record label on the original stock pressing of the vinyl album incorrectly lists the running time of "Six O'Clock" as 5:26, which may have led some to mistakenly assume that the original pressing contained the long version of the song. The label on the reissued vinyl album correctly lists the running time as 4:06. At the time of release, various reviews and press articles of the day stated that the longer version was "snuck" onto the tape duplicating masters at the last moment; this may have been done for the benefit of 8 track versions of the album, to make program two of the tape (on which the song appeared) the same approximate length as the other tracks. Artwork for a quadrophonic version was produced, but was never released. Additionally, the original artwork lists the second song, written by Randy Newman, as "Hold On" which was later corrected to "Have You Seen My Baby" in following pressings. When Ringo was reissued for compact disc, the three bonus tracks included on it were all from singles: Starr's 1971 hit single "It Don't Come Easy" and its B side "Early 1970", as well as the B side to "Photograph", "Down and Out".

1973 жылдың қыркүйек айының соңында Billboard журналында жарияланған хабарға сәйкес, "Ringo" альбомының шығарылымы альбомның мұқабасы бойынша жұмыс аяқталып жатқан кезде кейінге шегерілді. 24 қыркүйекте "Photograph" әні АҚШ-та "Down and Out" әнімен бірге сингл ретінде жарық көрді. Apple Records "Ringo" альбомын 2 қарашада АҚШ-та және 9 қарашада Ұлыбританияда шығарды. "Photograph" әнінің халықаралық сәттілігіне және бұрынғы The Beatles тобының бір жобада жұмыс істеуі мүмкін деген болжамдарға байланысты, альбом Канадада 1-орынға жетті, ал Cashbox және Record World чарттарында "Ringo" альбомы Америкада 1-орынды иеленді. Альбом 8 қарашада Америкада және одан бір ай кейін Ұлыбританияда алтын сертификат алды. The New York Times газетінің шолушысы Лорейн Альтерман оны "бірден көзге түсетін, сенсациялық альбом" деп сипаттады. Rolling Stone журналына жариялаған шолуында Бен Герсон, бір жағынан, Старрдың шектеулі өнері мен көптеген жұлдызды қонақтардың қатысуы альбомды "жайылған және тұрақсыз" еткенін, бірақ "атмосфера" тұрғысынан "Ringo – бұрынғы Beatle-дің ең сәтті альбомы. Ол Леннон сияқты polemikaлық және агрессивті емес, Харрисон сияқты өзін-өзі аяуға толы емес, Маккартни сияқты нәзік те емес, керісінше, тепе-тең, жеңіл және жағымды." "You're Sixteen" әні 3 желтоқсанда АҚШ-та "Devil Woman" әнімен бірге екінші сингл ретінде шығарылды. 18 ақпанда "Oh My My" әні тек АҚШ-та "Step Lightly" әнімен бірге сингл ретінде жарық көрді. Винил альбомының бастапқы басылымдағы таңбасында "Six O'Clock" әнінің ұзақтығы 5:26 деп қате көрсетілген, бұл кейбіреулерді түпнұсқада әннің ұзақ нұсқасы бар деп жаңылыстыруы мүмкін. Винил альбомының қайта басылымдағы таңбасында ұзақтығы 4:06 деп дұрыс көрсетілген. Альбомның шығарылған сәттегі шолулары мен баспасөз мақалаларында ұзақ нұсқаның соңғы сәтте таспаға "жасырын" қосылғандығы айтылды; бұл альбомның 8 тректік нұсқасы үшін жасалған болуы мүмкін, таспаның екінші бағдарламасындағы (әннің орналасқан жері) тректердің ұзақтығы басқа тректермен шамалас болсын деген мақсатта. Альбомның квадрофоникалық нұсқасының мұқабасы жасалды, бірақ ол ешқашан жарық көрген жоқ. Сонымен қатар, түпнұсқалық мұқабада Рэнди Ньюмен жазған екінші ән "Hold On" деп көрсетілген, ол кейіннен келесі басылымдарда "Have You Seen My Baby" деп түзетілді. "Ringo" альбомы компакт-дискіге қайта басылғанда, оған қосылған үш бонус-трек синглдерден алынған: Старрдың 1971 жылғы "It Don't Come Easy" хиті және оның "B" жағы "Early 1970", сондай-ақ "Photograph" әнінің "B" жағы "Down and Out". CD 1991 жылдың 4 наурызында Ұлыбританияда шығарылды. #tag:ref|UK Parlophone CDP 7 95884 2 – 4:06 "Devil Woman" (Starkey, Poncia) – 3:50 "You and Me (Babe)" (Harrison, Mal Evans) – 4:59

Альбомның аспаптық нұсқасын Дэвид Хентшель жасады және оған Sta*rtling Music деп ат қойды. Sta*rtling Music Старрдың Ring O' Records лейблінен шыққан алғашқы туынды болды; ол 1975 жылдың 18 сәуірінде Ұлыбританияда жарық көрді.
