I really doubt she won't know her sales and the charting life unless she doesn't want to. There's no way to control the information at that level.
And most media that trashed the album pretty much trashed all of her albums... She got a lot of bad critics just for being Britney Spears, and I really doubt that would surprise her at this point.
Some of the reviews were pretty nice, actually:

Even though we're in the middle of a pop-princess pileup this winter, with Miley, Katy, Gaga and more elbowing for room on the dance floor, Britney remains the queen who out-bangs, out-booms, out-bizarres them all.

Spears' eighth album is a transitional record, just like her third album. But whereas 2001's "Britney" found Spears -- no longer a girl, but not yet a woman -- feeling her way toward adulthood and the candid sexuality of club life, "Britney Jean," her first album released in her thirties, is a subtle shift away from frantic bangers and into more forthright songwriting.

As a musical reintroduction, certainly, Britney Jean offers as much grace as anyone could have expected.

Brit swerves back with a disco banger that could be described as "gayer than gay," except that doesn't even hint at how gay it is. Every time she barks, "You better work, bitch," you know every bitch in the room works harder – it's like a bitch sweatshop up in here.
