Connie Johnson of the Los Angeles Times called I'm So Proud, "Williams' most consistently fine work in ages... The album works due to fresh-sounding, quality material. This is black pop at its most enterprising." [7] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice found that "Williams has progressed, as they say, from Thom Bell's pop romanticism to George Duke's cosmic idealism." [6] Phyl Garland of Stereo Review professed, "I'm So Proud shows why Deniece Williams has every right to be. It's simply superb." [8]
I'm So Proud was Grammy nominated in the category of Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. [9]
