The album peaked at thirty-four on the U.S. Billboard 200 and reached the seventh spot on the R&B Albums chart.[3] The album was certified gold in September 1999, and reached platinum status in November 2002.[4]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine at Allmusic was critical of the album's running time and felt it was padded with some filler songs, however he did call the work "a true step forward for 702."[1]
