It had four charting singles, but only "Into You" (featuring Tamia) (and on alternate version, featuring Ashanti) and "Can't Let You Go" were major successes. Powered by a Just Blaze beat and guest vocals from Lil' Mo and Mike Shorey, "Can't Let You Go" reached #1 on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Into You" with the help of Ashanti/Tamia also reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The remix of "Trade it All" featuring P. Diddy and Jagged Edge reached #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. G Unit member 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson has accused Fabolous of shouting him out on the album.

It sold over 1.3 million copies as reported by Billboard[1] but it was originally certified platinum by RIAA on September 22, 2003[2] because of selling over 1 million copies by that time. Billboard[3]
