The first week sales of 163,711 for Just as I Am were at the time the highest one-week sales ever achieved in Australia, and have since only been surpassed by Susan Boyle's debut album in 2009. With eventual sales of 480,000, just short of 7× platinum, Just as I Am is the highest selling album ever released by an Australian Idol contestant. The second single "All I Need Is You" also reached number one. Sebastian's next two albums were certified platinum.

The album's only single "Who's That Girl", featuring US rapper Eve, reached number one. Sebastian's seventh and eighth albums were mixtures of soul, R&B and pop.
