    Very accomplished, vaguely surprising--and a wee bit dull.

    In this side project, he's not trying to be too different from the Bros, just going for a more retro-soul vibe with a band of old Prince alumni.

    Who I Am is so polished and adult-sounding -trading teen pop moxie for organ and slide guitar-that one is left wondering whether the same songs about love, heartbreak and political curiosity wouldn't be a more satisfying evolutionary step in the hands of a scrappier troupe.

    Nick has a great pop voice--high and clear and strong. It isn’t a great rock voice though, and his desire to smash it into shape by spirited bellowing alone can curdle things, just as they should really start cooking.

    This is really good. Hopfully with time, he will grow as a musical artist. People need to give him more credit. He is REALLY talented. As for the haters, they don't know what they are missing. They really don't, and they may regret it someday. Nick, keep doing what you are doing. Best of luck!!… Expand

    I'm going to be completely honest here, this is an amazing record. i absolutely hated the Jonas Brothers, but when i heard the single 'Who I Am' i was blown away. Nick sounds like a young John Mayer and I'm actually surprised he maned up and left the Jonas Brothers for this. Amazing, a must buy.… Expand

    Boring, cliched drivel that barely passes as music. Don't waste your time.
