  1. The New York Times

    Mr. Chesney’s new album, which is being released today and has one of the worst titles he has ever come up with, along with some of the best music.
  2. Billboard
    80
    Chesney gets better with age. There are radio hits here: 'Never Wanted Nothing More' has already hit No. 1 and second single 'Don't Blink' is off to a fast start, but there's depth, too.
  3. Boston Globe
    80
    The sincere, average-Joe appeal of Just Who I Am--the whole to which Chesney's various personas add up--will likely resonate with fans in the back row of the stadiums he favors, long after all of the records slide down the charts.

    It feels like a record assembled by a focus group. [Oct 2007, p.107]

    Just shows how diverse Kenny can be and how he's still down home and remembers where he came from. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to help write these songs. He's staying humble and real.… Expand

    Don't pay any mind to the recording company stooges in the "USER ratings" section who give this one phony "10"s pretending to be normal people....this album is not only far from perfect, it's actually not very good at all.… Expand
