Allmusic[2]

AllMusic editor Jon O'Brien found that "unsurprisingly, this official soundtrack to the series suggests the self-proclaimed Lothario still only has one thing on his mind, with an endless supply of seductive slow jams and drop-top anthems, packed with slicker than slick chat-up lines and suggestive come-ons that seem tailor-made for wooing the televised bevy of female admirers supposedly vying for his affections [...] For the Love of Ray J is nowhere near as cringe-worthy as his show of the same name, but despite its subject matter, it's an undeniably clichéd affair which lacks both passion and any genuine sense of emotion."[2]
