And Then... is an album that focuses on ballads. Joe states on his web site that he prefers singing ballads to up-tempo tracks. "I prefer to sing on ballads rather than up-tempos. You kind of showcase yourself as an r&b singer a lot better."
The album also features a number of collaborations with prominent r&b writers and producers. Joe worked with labelmate R. Kelly on the lead single "More & More" and "Make You My Baby", these two songs were originally intended for R. Kelly's unreleased album "Loveland". Roy "Royalty" Hamilton worked with Joe on the title track, as well as "Sweeter than Sugar" and "Sweet Dreams". Songwriter Kevin "Shekspere" Briggs wrote the song "Bedroom" that appears late on the track. G-Unit appears on the track "Ride Wit U" Produced by Frank Romano, which is one of the up-tempo tracks on the album — Joe returned the favour on their debut album.
As of July 2004, singles from the And Then... album include:
And Then... has so far reached #2 on the US album charts and #4 on the r&b charts.
