The album has received rave reviews. DJ Robert Scott called it "a marvelous pop/dance affair of the highest order"[4] and Computers in Entertainment predicted that "it will surely become a rage in the EDM circuits."[5] On October 1, I Am Not I reached #1 on ReverbNation's U.S. and global EDM charts.[6] The title track "I Am Not I" peaked at #15 on the UK Music Week Commercial Pop Club Chart and #41 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart.

Hollywood Weekly featured Liza Fox on the cover of its September 2015 issue (health and wellness edition). The magazine praised the "I Am Not I" album:

Liza Fox makes a smash with her new album "I Am Not I" which brings a hypnotic beat and mesmerizing music... Undoubtedly, Liza's raw talent results in an album with songs that take you on a journey of the senses; one which tantalizes the mind with mixed feelings. Like Liza's colorful personality, her songs also exhibit each distinctive color shining in the rainbow; each lighter and darker hue. One embarks on a zealous dancing-dynamic disposition with her single "Unlimited" to an imperious sort of trance while deciphering the complex meaning behind "I Am Not I." Think of her album as perfect for both a high-intensity workout and for setting a sultry mood. Rarely does an artist grasp so many diverse sentiments within only one album. And this is just one of the reasons Liza Fox is so far distinguished from other singers and songwriters.[7]

gollark: And the longer term your planning the more external factors will affect things, and those are very hard because it's nigh-impossible to predict future technology or politics or anything.
gollark: Devastating life changing events aren't really all that likely, but unexpected somewhat bad or good or just extremely weird ones will crop up with *some* frequency.
gollark: Actually, none of these are "intelligence" really, what's a better word...
gollark: That sounds like possibly excessive pessimism. Intelligence would be coming up with long term plans which are flexible enough to be able to deal with changing circumstances, and being able to execute on them.
gollark: I tend to over*research* stuff in advance a lot, but not actually plan based on it because I would never stick to it anyway.
