Dot Music
It's almost the perfect R&B album; cool, sexy, inventive and suitably stylish throughout. All that's missing is a couple of killer singles.

70
PopMatters
All in all, Milian’s got a good thing going, despite a few lyrical hiccups, a couple of lackluster hooks, and some obvious influences.

67
E! Online
Unfortunately, she has also followed Ms. Knowles' lead in recording overly earnest, confessional ballads.

Vibe
Though So Amazin' is ripe with sexuality, it's also a surface-dwelling effort devoid of any profound insights. [May 2006, p.137]

All Music Guide
Milian's weakness remains ballads; the few that are here are more like placeholders that merely apply some forced variety to the album.

60
Rolling Stone
The beats and some sharp songwriting keep Milian's unremarkably airy voice from having to stand on its own. [18 May 2006, p.229]

Prefix Magazine
So Amazin' may not be the huge leap in artistic achievement she may have hoped for, but it is a step in the right direction.

58
Entertainment Weekly
Milian's limp attempt at a sassy, streets-friendly R&B sound simply lacks bite and believability. [19 May 2006, p.76]
50
Billboard
Though Milian often comes off as a third-rate Beyoncé, her feathery soprano captivates when her lyrics do not.

42
Stylus Magazine
So Amazin’ isn’t quite pop and it isn’t quite rebellion--it’s straight-up high school.

40
Spin
Nice, sure, but whatever happened to naughty. [Jun 2006, p.82]
30
Slant Magazine
The only personality displayed on So Amazin' is that of her contemporaries and predecessors.
