The album received fairly positive reviews from critics, with [[AllMusic]] awarding it 3.5 stars, saying "There's a slickness suitable to Chenoweth's flawless voice. Though its slickness is suited to the material, ''As I Am'' can also seem to flutter inside its own perfect globe, untouched by the elements and radiant as Chenoweth's golden hair."<ref name="AM">{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/as-i-am-mw0000259143|title=As I Am - Kristin Chenoweth - Songs, Reviews, Credits - AllMusic|publisher=|access-date=August 21, 2016}}</ref> The album received an extremely positive review from Christian website [[Crosswalk.com]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crosswalk.com/culture/music/kristin-chenoweths-as-i-am-may-frustrate-music-purists-1342385.html|title=Kristin Chenoweth's "As I Am" May Frustrate Music Purists|publisher=|access-date=August 21, 2016}}</ref> Mixed reviews from ''[[The Ledger]]'' and ''[[The Buffalo News]]'' both praised the "Taylor, the Latte Boy" as a standout track.<ref>Galiano Russell, Robin (April 16, 2005).
