Critical reception

All About You was met with a generally mixed reviews from music critics. Andy Kellman of Allmusic gave the album 2.5 stars out of five, saying "Like his self-titled debut, which coasted to the Top Ten of the Billboard 200, Jeremih’s All About You is produced by partner Mick Schultz. Schultz’s beats on Jeremih amalgamated the styles of numerous contemporaries, and there is not much advancement on the follow-up, while the opening “All About You” is pretty close to a direct swipe of the-Dream's “Shawty Is a 10.” Jeremih often sounds drowsy, detached, and slumped in his VIP club booth, instead of on the prowl. Nothing approaches the bounding swagger of the debut’s “Break Up to Make Up,” and “Wanna Get Up,” the most overt dance floor track, lacks the appeal of “Runway” and is ultimately forgettable. Worst of all is “Holding On,” an earnest, vaguely inspirational ballad song not built for Jeremih’s voice, which is best suited for lecherous material. The highlights, unsurprisingly, are the ballads for the bedroom, though some of the lyrics—like “That’s right, we go from six to nine o’clock”—might result in groans of an undesirable sort".

All About You debuted at number 27 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart and number eight in the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart, selling 18,000 copies in its first week of sales.[2] As of June 25, 2015, the album has sold 186,000 copies in United States.[3] On October 16, 2017, the album was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 1,000,000 units.
