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."[1] The album received an extremely positive review from Christian website Crosswalk.com.[2] Mixed reviews from The Ledger and The Buffalo News both praised the "Taylor, the Latte Boy" as a standout track.[3][4]
The album peaked at No. 31 on Billboard′s Christian Albums chart.[5]
