CCM Magazine's Matt Conner gave the album a three-out-of-five-stars, noting that the album contains "Melodic arrangements", which "remain simple and catchy". [2] Cross Rhythms' Stella Redburn gave the album an eight-out-of-ten-stars, praised the album as being one that is "acoustic - relaxed and understated, but with a sincere charm with a style that is not unlike Jason Mraz." [3] Jesus Freak Hideout's Samantha Schuamberg gave the album a two-and-a-half-out-of-five-stars, was negative in writing that "Who I Am ends up seeming like a version of Castro's sound specifically tailored for the Christian market. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but the worshipful additions do not quite add a sense of originality to the album's overall sound. With less than stunning vocal challenges attempted, there is little to recognize as truly impressive with this release." [1]
