The album's massive popularity at the time of its release made it one of the first instances in which an album's songs would chart prior to them being released as proper singles. "Throb", which would eventually be released as a [[B-side]] to "Any Time, Any Place" in June 1994, charted an entire year before due to unsolicited radio airplay, reaching number 66 on the [[Hot 100 Airplay (Radio Songs)|Radio Songs Chart]]. Similarly, the album cut "Where Are You Now" reached number 30 on the same chart, being present on the chart for 37 weeks.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/janet-jackson/chart-history/hsb/|title=Janet Jackson Throb Chart History|magazine=Billboard|access-date=June 17, 2018|archive-date=November 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117160729/https://www.billboard.com/artist/janet-jackson/chart-history/hsb/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/janet-jackson/chart-history/hsb/|title=Janet Jackson Where Are You Now Chart History|magazine=Billboard|access-date=June 17, 2018|archive-date=November 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117160729/https://www.billboard.com/artist/janet-jackson/chart-history/hsb/|url-status=live}}</ref> Bonus track "One More Chance" peaked at #42 on Billboard's [[Rhythmic Airplay]] chart based on unsolicited airplay toward the end of the album's rollout.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/Billboard-Top-40-Airplay/1995/BBAM-1995-05-12.pdf|title=Top 40/Rhythm-Crossover Airplay|magazine=Billboard|access-date=October 19, 2023}}</ref>

Jay Cocks of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine offered a mixed review, stating "[f]or all its sass, there is something a little too careful about this album: the rhythms are too studied and studiobound, the sexiness slightly forced. It's as if Jackson, aware that this was her premier effort under a new, $40 million record deal, felt weighed down by the burden of proving herself. When, however, she kicks loose on 'What'll I Do', a nifty, [[1960s in music|'60s]]-style soul stirrer, it's clear that Jackson's got nothing to prove to anyone, including herself."<ref name="TM">{{citation|date=June 7, 1993 |last=Cocks |first=Jay |title=Reviews Music: Souls on Ice |newspaper=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |page=68}}</ref> [[Jon Pareles]] of ''The New York Times'' compares Jackson to her brother Michael and Madonna, stating "Jackson's real strength, abetted by Jam and Lewis, is the way she tops dance-club rhythms with pop melodies. Less up-to-the-second than Madonna but still effective, the Jackson team has obviously been listening to the competition. Madonna's '[[Justify My Love]]' echoes in 'That's the Way Love Goes', and 'If' resembles Michael Jackson's '[[Why You Wanna Trip on Me]]', starting with screaming guitar and a chanted verse, rising to a sweet melody."<ref name="NYT">{{citation |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/23/arts/recordings-view-a-sex-object-by-the-name-of-jackson.html?scp=6&sq=janet+jackson&st=nyt |title=RECORDINGS VIEW – RECORDINGS VIEW – A Sex Object By the Name Of Jackson |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=July 14, 2010 |first=Jon |last=Pareles |date=May 23, 1993 |archive-date=October 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141014031032/https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/23/arts/recordings-view-a-sex-object-by-the-name-of-jackson.html?scp=6&sq=janet+jackson&st=nyt |url-status=live }}</ref> He also comments that despite its shortcomings, "[t]he album's not about being real; it's about seamlessness and ingenuity, about giving the public something it can use. For a superstar, Jackson is downright selfless, but she gets the job done."<ref name="NYT" />
Chris Willman of the ''Los Angeles Times'' gave an unfavorable review. Although sex in popular music is considered a standard concept, Willman states the only reason the album would cause a reaction is because of Jackson's well-known conservative nature. He comments: "So be it. Jackson's first album in four years is destined for a long ride at No. 1, not because it's any great piece of work, but largely for its [[aphrodisiac]]al aspirations."<ref name="LAT">{{cite news|url=
