R&B singer Alicia Keys's third album, As I Am, was released to mixed reviews in late 2007. While some critics liked a few songs ("Like You'll Never See Me Again", "Teenage Love Affair"), others could not get past Keys's "clichéd" songwriting and vocal delivery on the album.
Still, As I Am sold over 2.5 million copies in the United States, and the lead single, "No One," won Keys two Grammy Awards in 2008.

Review Excerpts
- "You have to admire Alicia Keys' commitment to her street-nice vision." - Rolling Stone
- "[E]ven though 'As I Am' is a flawed work -- a little too poppy, a little too clichéd -- it is also indicative of what Keys can and will do..." - Allmusic
- "[Keys's] gifts shine with a ripening maturity and depth on her third studio outing. " - Billboard
- "'I am Superwoman,' [Keys] trills. 'Yes she is,' coo her backing singers. Oh, give it a rest." - Guardian
- "[Keys is] an effective but generally unimaginative lyricist whose writing tends to be simple, weirdly impersonal and wholly average, with a few exceptions..." - Washington Post
- "[Keys] pushes her voice outside of its natural range to convey the conviction and personality of her role models, but it just sounds like she’s trying too hard." - Chicago Tribune
