In terms of sales, Back To The World was a disappointment compared to his first two albums T.E.V.I.N. (Platinum) and I'm Ready (Double Platinum) only reaching Gold status. Three singles were released off the album: "Back To The World" was a moderate hit, but the other two singles didn't even reach the Hot 100, "I Got It Bad" and "Could You Learn To Love" only managed to reach the R&B charts with very low peak positions.
