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

Famous quotes containing the words release and, release and/or reception:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
