By the time this long-awaited album saw its release date, most fans had probably read at least a couple of interviews with Alicia Keys in which she explained that first single, "No One"--a firestorm of a song clearly born of a sore heart and steeped in serious soul-searching, was about her decision to retreat from the obligations of stardom when she found out a loved one was in need of her care. The anecdote sticks not just because it explained the song so well--you can actually hear the pain, commitment, and determination in her sultry voice--but because it gets at what makes the woman behind the music so appealing. There's only one way R&B artists grow to become legends, and it's by drenching the words they sing with feeling (think Gladys Knight, Roberta Flack). The skeptical listener might have had her doubts before As I Am, but there's no mistaking it now: Alicia Keys is well on her way to sharing a category with them. This record radiates not just old-soul maturity, the kind Alicia fans say makes her modern rarity, but real soul. Vintage-leaning hooks and horns grab hold on "Where Do We Go from Here" and an assortment of other songs, but Keys can also get by just fine without them, as she proves on more pop-flavored numbers like "Lesson Learned," with John Mayer, and "Superwoman." The genres may be smearing, she seems to say, but bring them on: she won't shrink back. Her commitment is not to a single style but to what's stirring her soul. Because of it, she's moving R&B, or something like it, from the hips back to the heart. --Tammy La Gorce

 The r&b Alannis Morrissette January 11, 2010
Bradley F. Smith (Miami Beach, FL)
Some of the tracks here are a bit heavy on the feminism, so guys may want to think twice before picking this one up. The vocals are okay, but I think she's a little over-rated, mainly because she writes her own stuff, unlike most of her peers. She's a black r&b version of certain i-am-woman white singer-songwriter chicks. A few of the melodies stick, but there's a fair amount of filler towards the end.

Can I just say that if I could be anyone in the world I would want to be Alicia Keys? She is gorgeous, talented, intelligent, and classy. I love her and I love this album. She's not like many female R&B artist who sing about nothing. Superwoman, That's the Thing About Love, I Need You, Go Ahead, Like You'll Never See Me Again, and No One are my favs from this CD.

Alicia Keys again dazzles with a collection of songs that showcase her voice & her ability to chose lyrics that are stirring & meaningful. Tracks are well mixed & great for a dinner party or a road trip!
THE BEST SMOOTH FEMALE SOUL SINGER OF OUR TIME July 14, 2009
J. Comage
Alicia has no peers when it comes to the smooth soul sound that was found in artist like Marvin Gaye, and groups like the Orginals and the Ojays. She takes you for a walk through love land and sets the mood for romance.
Her music can make the young dream and the old remember what its like to be in love. I hope she want change a thing about and keep on doing what no one else can do any better.
A pleasent Surprise March 15, 2009
RJ (rjmusic)
I was never really a big fan of Alicia Keys. Although, I did applaud her for trying to bring a bit of classical music into the world of modern day R&B. Anyway, I downloaded the album after there was alot of buzz about it. I was never a big fan of the singles that came out of this album, but the rest of the album is very good. There's alot of soul, jazz, and spunk that comes out in this cd. I personally think her 2nd second album is her masterpiece, but this one certainly does not disappoint. I think any fan of R &B will def. love this album this is a must have! Superwoman is the track that really stands out to me the most on this album. There's a few more tracks that are really worth your time. Go and buy it!
