Allmusic editor Andy Kellman found that Raydiation "isn't any less derivative than Everything You Want and This Ain't a Game. He's still putting on airs, rarely deviating from copping his moves off R. Kelly and Usher. There's really nothing worth singling out [...] If Ray J plans on maintaining his every-four-years release schedule, he might as well spend less time soaking up his influences and more time developing some individuality."

In the United States, Raydiation entered the Billboard 200 at number 48, selling 21,517 copies in its first week of release.{{Cite web |url=http://board.rapmusic.com/hip-hop-central/932010-soundscan-numbers-9-28-05-a.html |title=SoundScan Numbers for 9/28/05 - RapMusic.com |access-date=2010-02-03 |archive-date=2011-07-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715154656/http://board.rapmusic.com/hip-hop-central/932010-soundscan-numbers-9-28-05-a.html |url-status=dead }} In addition, it peaked at number 13 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
