Four singles were released, "Waterbed Hev", "I'll Do Anything", "Keep It Coming" (US No. 23) and "Big Daddy" (US No. 18). Guests on the album include Lost Boyz, Soul for Real and Tha Dogg Pound.
The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the New York rapper discovers new ways of being the sensuous, sometimes erotic romantic without ever being vulgar."[2]Elliott Wilson, in his review for The Source, commended the album, calling it a "catchy, worthwhile listen that will stifle the non-believers".[3]
