produce perfectly buff R&B. The Armada collaboration [...] stands out as a grinding electronic rave-up that's unmatched by anything else here." AllMusic editor Sharon Mawer described the album as "a mixture of danceable R&B songs" rated the album three out of five stars. Jaime Gill, writing for Yahoo! Music UK, found that "a few more spiky moments like this "["B Boy Baby"] and "Song 4 Mutya", and a few less mid-tempo snoozes like "It's Not Easy", and this could have been a brilliant, bold debut by one of our most interesting pop stars. As it is, it will have to settle for an interesting mixed bag." Krissi Murison from NME felt that Real Girl was "a debut's worth of octave-warbling, R&B dross. And not even Winehouse herself (who rocks up on backing vocals on "B Boy Baby" – the not-quite-funny re-working of The Ronettes classic of nearly the same name) can stop it being any less of a letdown." Chart performance Real Girl debuted and peaked at number ten on the UK Albums Chart, having sold 35,103 copies. It was reached Silver status after only four days of release and was certified Gold by British Phonographic Industry on 14 December 2007. In Ireland, the album charted at number fifty-one. It also managed to chart on the Netherlands and Switzerland albums charts, at number seventy-one and sixty-six, respectively.
