Chapter II received mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 51, based on 11 reviews, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. [8] The New York Times writer Kelefa Sanneh remarked that Chapter II "isn't perfect, but once you edit out the skits (which are, without exception, excruciating), you're left with an album that's graceful, beguiling and above all, light, in the best sense of the word." [17] People magazine noted that "the singer's sophomore CD, though, proves wrong those who thought she would be a one-hit-album wonder. Chapter II, which continues the same hip-hop soul theme as her self-titled debut, is the equivalent of a good beach read: It's easy, breezy listening that doesn't require much brainpower." [18]

Billboard wrote that Chapter II "doesn't stray too far from its predecessor" and complimented the autobiographical songs on the album. [19] Ernest Hardy from Rolling Stone found that the "album is filled with the same beat-driven, slickly produced midtempo tracks and ballads that made up her debut [and] the disc's best moments have a decidedly old-school feel to them [...] Still, dullard schoolgirl insights into love and heartache dominate the album; add some boring between-song skits about 'haters,' and Chapter II wears thin long before its halfway mark." [13] While he complimented Ashanti for her writing credits on the album, Entertainment Weekly journalist Tom Sinclair felt that "Chapter II is too mired in tired R&B conventions to achieve true magnificence." [10]

Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine found that "the songs have about as much personality as Ashanti's voice, but that actually is a point in its favor, since it keeps everything on an even keel and makes Gotti and Santana's stylish production the star. They are the secret ingredients that make Chapter II good romantic mood music for the summer." [1] Alexa Camp from Slant Magazine wrote that "the album's got some great tunes, but they'd be better suited for someone like Mary J. Blige, whom Shany & Co. bite off." [15] Robert Christgau gave Chapter II a "C" rating in his review for The Village Voice , calling it a "pathologically modest follow-up." [16] PopMatters from Maurice Bottomley assured that "Chapter 2 is not going to feature as any scribe's R&B album of the year." [12]

Commercial performance

In the United States, Chapter II debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 326,000 units sold. [20] While it became Ashanti's second chart topper, it was a considerable decline from her previous effort Ashanti, which had opened to sales of 502,500 units in April 2002. [20] In total, it remained on the Billboard 200 chart for 30 consecutive weeks. [21] In addition, it reached the top position on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, where it stayed at the top spot for two consecutive weeks. [22] On August 14, 2003, The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). [23] Towards the end of 2003, Billboard ranked the album at number 54 and 27 respectively on its Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums year end chart lists. [24] [25] By January 2005, Chapter II had sold 1.5 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. [26]

Elsewhere, Chapter II reached the top five on the Canadian and UK Singles Chart. [27] It was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), indicating sales in excess of 100,000 copies, [28] and also went gold in Japan.
