Conception

An article in the Los Angeles Times asserted that Ray J wanted to distance himself from his child star image from his days acting in Moesha, the sitcom that starred his older sister Brandy. Reporter Serena Kim noticed that the lyrics were becoming more "graphic" and sexually explicit.[1]

Sales

The album sold over 39,000 copies in its first week placing it at #7 on the Billboard 200 charts, and #1 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. As of 2010 it sold 250,000 copies to date.

All I Feel was panned by most music critics. Steve Jones of USA Today rated this album one-and-a-half stars out of a possible five, stating that the album "doesn’t leave much of an impression, even though Ray J tries hard to leave one".[6] On okayplayer, Jason Reynolds considered Ray J's sexual and drug content to be vulgar and "forced".[7] Clover Hope of Billboard magazine gave this album a moderate review for the perception that Ray J "tries too hard" to "prove himself" to be grown up, "like a wannabe rapper in singer's clothing".[8]
