Who I Am is the second studio album by
contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter
Jason Castro. It was released on November 9, 2010 via
Atlantic Records and
Word Records, and was the first record with Word and the last with Atlantic. The album has garnered mixed reviews from the critics and has already achieved success from the lead single "You Are".
CCM Magazine's Matt Conner gave the album a three-out-of-five-stars, noting that the album contains "Melodic arrangements", which "remain simple and catchy".[2]Cross Rhythms' Stella Redburn gave the album an eight-out-of-ten-stars, praised the album as being one that is "acoustic - relaxed and understated, but with a sincere charm with a style that is not unlike
Jason Mraz."[3] Jesus Freak Hideout's Samantha Schuamberg gave the album a two-and-a-half-out-of-five-stars, was negative in writing that "Who I Am ends up seeming like a version of Castro's sound specifically tailored for the Christian market. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but the worshipful additions do not quite add a sense of originality to the album's overall sound. With less than stunning vocal challenges attempted, there is little to recognize as truly impressive with this release."[1]
