The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 186,000 copies in its first week. It produced three singles that attained Billboard chart success and has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of one million copies in the United States.

While Elliott contributed four songs to the album and moreover replaced Jermaine Dupri as its executive producer, Monica also collaborated with rappers DMX, Dirtbag, Busta Rhymes and Mia X, and singers Tweet and Tyrese.[2] Mýa also was originally going to lend her voice to a track, but she was eventually replaced by Faith Evans; the untitled song did not, however, make the final tracklisting.[3] Although the album was still planned to be titled All Eyez on Me until its completion, the singer decided to change the album title into a more personal matter after dealing with private tribulations between the years 2000 and 2002: "I wanted this to be more of my testimony", Monica told Jet Magazine.[4] "I feel blessed to still be here after a lot of things that I've been through. I wanted to share certain things with people. Not so much as what I've been through, but how I made it through. That's what the album reflects ... It's really the reason I titled my album After the Storm."[5] Reception  Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [6] Chicago Sun-Times [7] Entertainment Weekly (C+)[8] The Guardian [9] Los Angeles Times [10] The New York Times (favorable)[11] Rolling Stone [12] USA Today [8] The Village Voice (mixed)[13] The Washington Post (mixed)[14] The album debuted at number two on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It entered at number one on the Billboard 200, with sales of 186,000 copies, as Monica's first number-one album to date, and ultimately spent 24 weeks on the chart.[15] Sales declined soon but uniformly continuous, and After the Storm eventually received a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments in excess of 500,000 copies in the US. As of August 2010, the record has sold 1,023,000 copies domestically.[1] While the album opened at number six on the Canadian albums chart, it failed to enter the majority of the charts outside the United States. Although "Don't Gotta Go Home", a duet with DMX, was considered to be released as a single at times,[16] After the Storm spawned four singles: The album's lead single, "So Gone", became Monica's biggest commercial successes in years, reaching number 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and spending five consecutive weeks on top of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. It was eventually ranked fourth on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles 2003 year-end charts, but failed to chart or sell noticeably outside North America. Follow-up single "Knock Knock" never made it out of the lower half of the Billboard Hot 100, while simultaneously released "Get It Off" reached number 13 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. After the Storm's fourth and final single, "U Should've Known Better" received a late release in mid-2004 and became another top 20 hit for the singer.
