Reception

Шаблон:Unreliable sources Musiceyz.co.uk wrote "Mark's voice is heavily treated making him sound a bit too synthed and computerized."[6] Jonny Abrams of Rocksucker gave a negative review of I Am What I Am, feeling that "It might have gotten away with it had the song itself not been so listless", naming it one of the week's worst singles.[7]

However, his new soulful track has been worth the wait".[10] DJBooth.net rated the Mark Sparks remix of "I Am What I Am" 4 out of 5 stars, with a positive review calling it an "anthemic cut, expanding the original’s aural palette with 808s, swirling synths and a brand new chopped-n-screwed outro". DJ Blaze of DJBooth also commented "This beat by Mark Sparks is tough and Mark Morrison ripped this. Good feature by Crooked I. Banger!"[11]
