The album features the hit single "Ain't No Sunshine", which was ranked at number 280 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[9] Booker T. Jones produced, arranged, and played keyboards and guitar on Just As I Am, alongside bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn and drummer Al Jackson Jr. of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, with Stephen Stills on lead guitar. The album was later reissued as a dual disc with a second disc featuring all the tracks in 5.1 Surround Sound. Critical receptionReviewing in Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote: "With faultness production from Booker T.—even the strings are taut—this is an unusually likable and listenable middlebrow soul LP. As befits a strummer of acoustic guitars, Withers is more folk than pop, and when he adds folk seriousness to a gospel fervor surprising in such an apparently even-tempered man, he makes titles like 'I'm Her Daddy' and 'Better Off Dead' take on overtones of radical protest where other singers would descend into bathos. I don't find that even standout cuts like 'Ain't No Sunshine' and 'Grandma's Hands' reach out and grab me, but except for a letdown toward the end of side two the flow sustains."[3] Track listing{{Track listing| headline = Side A | all_writing = Bill Withers; except where indicated | title1 = Harlem | length1 = 3:23 | title2 = Ain't No Sunshine | length2 = 2:04 | title3 = Grandma's Hands | length3 = 2:00 | title4 = Sweet Wanomi | length4 = 2:34 | title5 = Everybody's Talkin' | writer5 = Fred Neil | length5 = 3:26 | title6 = Do It Good | length6 = 2:53 }}{{Track listing | headline = Side B | title1 = Hope She'll Be Happier | length1 = 3:49 | title2 = Let It Be | writer2 = John Lennon, Paul McCartney | length2 = 2:35 | title3 = I'm Her Daddy | length3 = 3:17 | title4 = In My Heart | length4 = 4:20 | title5 = Moanin' and Groanin' | length5 = 2:59 | title6 = Better Off Dead | length6 = 2:16 }} Chart history
