Sonicnet

All for You is every bit as impressive a collection as Control, her first collaboration with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis fifteen years ago.

Spin Cycle

The album's meticulous attention to detail never overshadows Jackson's frisky good mood.

E! Online

A packed 73-minute disc with breathy vocals, smooth R&B jams and seductive sentiments.

Billboard

All for You overflows with Parliament-etched funky beats, orchestral disco flourishes, and rich bursts of sensuality.

Playlouder

She has rediscovered The Beat, giving us such funk-strewn gems as 'Trust A Try' and 'You Ain't Right'.

All Music Guide

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.

Entertainment Weekly

Sexy and big and brimming with left-field surprises.... Despite a few missteps, All for You is about as good as modern diva-pop gets. [4 May 2001, p.67]

Dot Music

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.

Rolling Stone

But if Jackson tries too hard to meet a standard of sexual frankness that's heightened in the four years since her last outing, she more than delivers her quota of hits.

CDNow

In spite of the sudden changes of mood and style, the album coheres nicely around Jackson's strong personality.

Wall of Sound

But for all its emotional directness and prodigious length, there's a point on All for You where it all starts wear thin and Jackson's moments of celebration and vindictiveness seem played out rather than genuine...

Launch.com

The album, produced by her longtime collaborators Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, doesn't drift from their if-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it formula that supplies Janet with dreamy, radio friendly R&B/pop to balance the record's angst and lust.

New York Magazine

Like her awkward lyrical ventures into S&M and bisexuality on The Velvet Rope, songs like "Love Scene (Ooh Baby)" and "When We Oooo" aim for hot-and-heaviness but have the chilliness of her brother's famous televised kiss with Lisa Marie Presley.

Neumu.net

All for You is, for the most part, signature Janet.

Jay D gave it a10:
jamnet will forever give those other girls a run for their money. always a trend setter she has a misteek about her that these other femlae entertainers will never get or have even if they tried hard.

D H gave it a 9:
Up beat and full of funk and friskiness - love it!

Terence B gave it a 10:
I love janet...the best artist ever...every 1 of her albums since Control has corrosponed with whatever was going on with my life.

christian g gave it a 5:
it has its good moments, but in an overall, it is her worst record to date

Matt M gave it a 7:
A good, solid effort from Miss Jackson. Often too intentionally sexual, but has enough standouts like the title track and "Somebody To Call My Lover." The song "Trust A Try" alone is worth the full price.

shawnta m gave it a 10:
janet jackson's lastest album rocks. like she said '' IT'S ALL FOR YOU''!! IT HAS A GREAT FRESH BEAT & IF JANET'S HAPPY, I'M HAPPY!! FAN 4 LIFE

Luvin_Janet noneya gave it a 10:
I luv it, I own it is an absolute 10!!!!!!!
