Reception

The EP received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics. DJ JD of DJ JD Studios complimented "'I Am What I Am', definitely takes me back in time to the glory days of the 90's. Sitting in front of the TV, flipping through the channels and ending up on MTV to watch latest music videos from TRL (Total Request Live). Soothing yet dance-able; smooth yet intricate, this collection of tracks is high quality work."[6] Whilst musiceyz.co.uk said "Mark’s voice is heavily treated making him sound a bit too synthed and computerised".[7] Jonny Abrams of Rocksucker gave a negative review of I Am What I Am, saying "It might have gotten away with it had the song itself not been so listless", with a heading of "The worst of this week’s singles: Itch, Mark Morrison, Stooshe and more!".[8]
