The song "No One," while not the hit single, proves it is safe to say the entire album is a winner. "No One" is a love song that praises a relationship. Keys sings with deep emotion, "People search the world trying to find what we have/ No one can get in the way of what I'm feeling."

Other top tracks include "Superwoman," which praises all types of women, ranging from mothers to sisters to hardworking ladies. Keys' strong voice combined with delicate piano notes creates an original and beautiful song one could easily listen to over and over again. Similarly, "Wreckless Love" is a memorable track that has a Mary J. Blidge-esque feel to it. The song is sensual and alluring without ever saying the word "sex." Also along the same vein, "Teenage Love Affair" is an upbeat song that indulges in memories of making out in public places and going from first base to home plate during the days of high school.

Some tracks have a gospel feel to them, such as "Prelude to a Kiss" and "Sure Looks Good to Me." These songs weigh more on the slower side of the collection, but still underscore Keys' powerful, expressive voice.

The album does have some clunkers, though, including "Where Do You Go from Here," which begins with canned orchestration similar to a horror movie or a dreadful Halloween party soundtrack. While it is possible that this mood was intentionally orchestrated due to the song centering on the aftermath of a breakup, it seems unlikely.

As I Am takes an optimistic approach to addressing a wide scope of human emotions, giving listeners the ability to enjoy the album despite whatever type of mood they are in. Songs often consist of minimal words repeated with different notes, yet the effect is breathtaking. While at times cliche, the album is redeemed by Keys' vocal capacity and thoughtful lyrics.
