Stylus Magazine

This is a very good record. I personally dare the “ASHLEE SUX” folks reading this to give it a reasonably objective spin.

Billboard

With constant acknowledgement of imperfections, Simpson separates herself from the peppy Lindsay Lohans and Hilary Duffs. [22 Oct 2005]

E! Online

The pop hooks are there, but we can't shake the feeling that the sentiments come off as phony.

I Am Me isn't half bad--but it's only half good.

Dot Music

If this fluffy, punk-lite petulance, devoid of any real personality is to your taste, lap it up.

Entertainment Weekly

Every song feels like a retread of some hit you've heard before, somewhere. [21 Oct 2005, p.73]

Q Magazine

Sadly, this follow-up shows signs of premature ageing. [Mar 2006, p.109]

All Music Guide

No matter how hard Simpson tries, no matter how foreboding the surface, beneath it all she's still light and frivolous. But that doesn't mean, by any stretch, that this is bubblegum music, since that term implies that this music is frothy, fun, and, most important, hooky, and I Am Me is none of those things.

Los Angeles Times

Her singing is not convincing in the least. [16 Oct 2005]

Rolling Stone

In venturing to offer something for everyone, Simpson offers nothing for anyone.

The New York Times

"I Am Me" has an awful lot of brooding teen-rock songs, none of which flatter Ms. Simpson's rather breathy, mannered voice. [24 Oct 2005]

Blender

The songs are soggier, the sentiments more banal. [Dec 2005, p.154]

The Guardian

Her sense of self-importance [is] so prevalent on her second album that it negates the mild pleasure you might otherwise get from it.

Even is not a GREAT Cd it has really good songs like coming back for more , another life , say goodbye . But there's some songs who could it be better.

Hilarious!

Dan F. gave it a1:
I am me? WTF! Who else would I think this talentless hack is? At least her sister is kinda nice to look at.

Amanda G gave it a1:
After her lip-syncing fiasco that was pulled on Saturday Night Live in front of millions, it left many wishing that she would lip-sync her entire album off a more talented artist so we would not have to hear her scratchy voice played on the radio ever again. One of her adoring fans describes her sound as “raw and catchy”, but I think they are mistaking it for the painfully raw feeling of your body experienced left behind when throwing yourself under a transport truck after hearing the album.
