Review

The Velvet Rope was a fairly bold move on Janet Jackson's part, as she got seriously sexy -- too serious, actually, since it had a fairly bitter tone, underscored by hints of perversity. Four years later, marked by one hidden marriage revealed through a divorce, Janet returned with All for You, an album that is as about sex as much as The Velvet Rope, yet there's a key difference -- it feels sexy, not pornographic. With her trusty collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in tow, she's created a record that's luxurious and sensual, spreading leisurely over its 70 minutes, luring you in even when you know better. And there are certainly moments that make you wish you knew better. For one, it's plotted like The Velvet Rope, filled with skits and deliberately recalling the record with its obsession with flesh and how it builds on '70s soul and soft rock. This time around, instead of Joni Mitchell, she appropriates America's "Ventura Highway" for "Someone to Call My Lover," one of the record's best cuts, and "interpolates" Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" on "Son of a Gun," with Simon singing and...well, I guess you could call it rapping...right along. The twist is, this is an anti-music industry song and a particularly foul-mouthed entry on the album, sitting comfortably alongside another industry song, the slow groove "Truth." And that fills out the three main themes of the album -- divorce, industry, and sex -- with a little bit of love on the side. These keep things humming throughout this overly sultry, overlong album, which intrigues with its very texture even as it lulls at its length. After all, there's a lot to be said for texture, and All for You is alluring, easily enveloping the listener. Though it's hardly as explicit as The Velvet Rope, apart from a section where she proclaims "I just want to suck you, taste you, ride you, feel you, make you come -- come inside of me" (mind you, this album did not have a parental advisory sticker on its first pressings), this is her sexiest-sounding record, thanks to Jam and Lewis' silky groove and her breathy delivery, two things that make the record palatable throughout too many spoken interludes and songs that just don't quite click. Even if there is a fair share of filler, this is hardly as strained as The Velvet Rope (though in many respects, it's every bit as self-conscious), and there's an ease to its construction, topped off by such songs as "All for You" and "Doesn't Really Matter" that maintain Janet, Jam, and Lewis' reputation as the leading lights of contemporary urban soul. It'd be nicer if the album was leaner, concentrating on just the great songs, but indulgence is what this record encourages. Janet sprawls out throughout the album, indulging her whims, desires, and fantasies, but -- fortunately for us -- her indulgences are alluring in their self-absorption. Of course, it helps to have Jam and Lewis on your side to articulate your indulgence. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

All for You is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Janet Jackson, released in the United States on April 24, 2001 by Virgin Records. This album saw Jackson heavily incorporating pop and dance-pop music. Unlike The Velvet Rope, which saw Jackson tackling darker issues like domestic violence and depression, All for You showcased a fluffier pop sound with lyrics talking mostly about her then-recent divorce. Billboard magazine ranked All For You at number 141 on the magazine's Top 200 Albums of the Decade.[3]

Release and promotion

About a month before its release, MTV aired a special entitled MTV Icon, and its first honorary icon was Jackson herself. Many artists paid tribute to Jackson on that night and commemorated her success since Control, such as Britney Spears, producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Christina Aguilera, 'NSYNC, Usher, Mýa, OutKast, P!nk, Aaliyah, Jennifer Lopez, and brother Michael Jackson. Jackson performed "All for You" at the end of the special.[4]

Despite strong language and excessive sexual content and themes, first pressings of the album did not contain a Parental Advisory warning on it, and thus, a clean version was not offered. In mid-2001, the album was re-released with a Parental Advisory warning on it, along with a bonus track (the remix of "Son of a Gun"). With the re-release, a clean version was then issued, which retained the "Son of a Gun" remix, but omitted the track "Would You Mind". This exact situation happened with Jennifer Lopez's album, J.Lo (2001), which was released around the same time. The re-release marked Jackson's first album to be released with a Parental Advisory label on it; the second being follow-up Damita Jo (2004).

On its initial pressings, the album was released without a Parental Advisory sticker, despite featuring very strong language and sexual content in some songs (specifically in the songs "Love Scene (Ooh Baby)", "Would You Mind", "Trust a Try", "Son of a Gun" and "Better Days"). It was later re-released in "explicit" and "clean" versions (both added the P. Diddy remix of "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)" as a bonus track, while the edited disc also removed the steamy "Would You Mind"). Due to the explicit nature of the track "Would You Mind", the entire song was cut from the clean version of the album, and the album was banned in Singapore, as Jackson's management refused to remove the track from the album.[5]

In addition the 2001 re-issue of the album, a Deluxe Edition of the album was further released in November of 2001 as All For You: DVD Edition with a bonus DVD featuring music videos (some of which had been previously unavailable on home video), interviews and behind the scenes footage, spanning from the promotion of the album janet. to the promotion and making of All For You. The version of the album included in the set is the clean version, with an additional remix which was not included on either versions of the album's original re-issue.

Reception

Commercial

All for You debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 605,128 copies in its first week.[6] It was Jackson's fifth straight number one debut in the United States, and the biggest opening week sales of her career.[7] In its second week All for You fell to number 2 with 310,000 copies sold, being knocked off by Destiny's Child's Survivor, which saw first week sales of 663,000 copies.[8] In its third chart week, the album fell to number 3 with sales of 215,000 copies,[9] and in its fourth chart week, the album fell to number 5 with sales of 149,000 copies,[10] achieving an estimated total of 1,279,128 copies sold in its first month of release. Outside of the United States, it was a commercial success, debuting at number one in Canada (with 37,200 copies sold at the first week[11]), becoming the first of her career in Canada,[12] and in the top five in Australia,[13] The Netherlands,[14] Europe,[15] France,[16] Germany,[17] Japan,[18] (with 63,450 copies sold at the first week[18]) Norway,[19] Sweden,[20] Switzerland,[21] and The United Kingdom.[22]

The album was first certified gold by the RIAA on May 18, 2001 denoting 500,000 units shipped within the United States.[23] The same day, the album's certification was raised to platinum, denoting 1,000,000 units shipped[23] then double platinum denoting 2,000,000 units shipped.[23] In Denmark, the album was certified Gold, and is her only certified album in the country.[24] It's also certified Gold in Finland,[25] New Zealand,[26] and Belgium.[27]

As of September 2009, All for You has sold 3,107,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[28] According to the artist's website, it has sold over seven million copies worldwide.[29]

Upon its release, All for You received generally positive reviews from most music critics.[38] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 73, based on 14 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[38]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine with Allmusic favored All for You over her last studio album, The Velvet Rope, stating "Four years later, marked by one hidden marriage revealed through a divorce, Janet returned with All for You, an album that is as about sex as much as The Velvet Rope, yet there's a key difference -- it feels sexy, not pornographic."[1] Tom Sinclair with Entertainment Weekly gave the album a 'B' rating, stating "Despite a few missteps, All for You is about as good as modern diva-pop gets, with a higher ratio of worthy-to-mediocre songs than might be expected. Granted, that's not saying much. But it adds up to a lot more than most female singers have done for us lately."[2] Gene Stout with The Seattle Post-Intelligencer called All for You "one of the best of her career".[39]

With a three-out-of-four star rating, Steve Jones with USA Today said "on this fifth collaboration with producers James "Jimmy Jam" Harris and Terry Lewis, the singer is in a sexy, fun-loving mood [...] While she overdoes the between-song interludes here, she never fails to get you to move. When it comes to burning up a dance floor, she is still Ms. Jackson."[36] Anthony DeCurtis with Rolling Stone gave it a three-and-a-half out-of-five star rating, saying "...on All for You, Jackson cranks the heat higher still. At thirty-five, Jackson is now an R&B veteran, and she's earned her stature not through innovation but through consistency. All for You admittedly does not break much new ground, but it's just as fresh, familiar and appealing as you've come to expect from Jackson, and that's no small achievement."[34] John Mulvey with Yahoo! Music UK referred to the album as "her most unnerving and plausible character thus far; the divorcee on the prowl."[37] He went on to say that "This is a much more satisfying album than The Velvet Rope, even if most of the songs are overlong and a few juggle satin sheet-cliches with self-help ones to numbing effect. Nevertheless, All for You stands as a monument to the positive effects of divorce."[37]

With a five-out-of-ten star rating, Piers Martin with NME commented saying "All for You finds Jackson in predatory mode, keen to reclaim both in the boudoir and on the dancefloor territory which is today dominated by pneumatic mini-Janets like Britney, Christina and J-Lo. Once Jam and Lewis have finished humiliating their mannequin, however, out come the hits. 'You Ain't Right' and 'All for You' are faultless funk affairs, as instant as anything from 'Rhythm Nation', 'Come On Get Up' marries tribal house to FM pop, while 'Someone to Call My Lover' recalls Aaliyah's 'Try Again' in its squelchy simplicity. Even Jackson's duet with Carly Simon, a digitally remastered interpolation of 'You're So Vain' named 'Son of a Gun', proves a smart choice."[32] The New York Times music critic Jon Pareles commented saying "All for You isn't as immediately melodic as Ms. Jackson's previous albums, but it compensates for lost catchiness with unabashed strangeness."[31]

Sal Cinquemani with Slant Magazine was less favorable of the album, rating it two-out-of five stars, saying "In an attempt to make fun and cheery pop music, Janet & Co. have completely abandoned introspection and relevance, leaving behind a generally banal and unchallenging collection of songs."[35] He also commented on her duet with Carly Simon saying "The album's biggest misstep is "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)", featuring Carly Simon. The song is like a car wreck: It's impossible not to be horrified yet strangely intrigued."[35] Natalie Nichols with the Los Angeles Times commented saying "The airy grooves and twinkly soul-pop feel overblown even in better moments, including the upbeat title track, with its old-school-funk hook, and the slamming let's-work-it-out plea "Trust a Try"."[30]

Singles

In 2000, Jackson released the single "Doesn't Really Matter" from the Nutty Professor II: The Klumps soundtrack. It was a number-one hit in the last quarter of 2000. Though it was initially included on the film's soundtrack, it was later included on All For You, albeit with a slightly different intro, a shortened outro and two dance breaks added towards the middle of the song.

The album's title track was released as the first official single associated with the album and became Jackson's most successful hit single since 1993's "That's the Way Love Goes", reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and remaining there for seven weeks.

The album's next single, "Someone to Call My Lover", was also a success, peaking at number three.

The following single, "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)" (which featured Carly Simon and repurposed her 1972 hit "You're So Vain") did not meet the same success as the album's previous singles; peaking at number twenty-eight. As opposed to the original album version being released as a single, the song was remixed and added rap verses by Missy Elliott and (on some versions) P. Diddy. This version of the song was later included as a bonus track on the album's re-release and subsequent Deluxe Edition release.

There were plans to release "Come On Get Up" as a commercial single in 2002 and a video was to be shot for the single, but it was cancelled. Instead, promo CDs and vinyls were issued to DJs in Japan and America only in November 2002.

Also, on MTV's TRL in Spring 2001, Janet had told Carson Daly that "Trust a Try" would be a future single, but there were no plans for the single release. Instead of releasing "Come On Get Up" and "Trust a Try", Jackson began work on her next studio album, Damita Jo.
