Critical reception

Template:Music ratings Following its release, This Is My Time received generally mixed reviews. Both AllMusic and Vibe gave the album two and a half stars out of five.[11][12] Vibe editor Angie Romero wrote: "Once known as little Olivia from The Cosby Show, Raven-Symoné wants to show the world she’s all grown up. To prove it, she records an album full of pop/R&B hybrids brimming with Hilary Duff–like innocence and sparkling arrangements. Yet, none of [her] composers can compensate for the teen queen’s sub-par singing, the one thing preventing her from getting her full bloom on."[12] AllMusic critic Jason Thurston found that "Symoné here offers up music that is sweet, melodic, and definitely mature R&B, in the vein of another singer who got her start as a kid on a popular TV show – Janet Jackson."[11]

This Is My Time debuted at number 50 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and at number 51 on the official Billboard 200 of week dated October 9, 2004, with moderately successful first week sales of 19,000 copies (best debut in the chart to date); making it Raven-Symoné's first album to enter the chart in the United States.
