'' 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.
