AllMusic [1]

AllMusic's Andrew Hamilton rated the album three out of a possible five stars, paying special attention to the lead track "Treat U Rite"; he called it "a tasty mid-tempo romancer that's almost too rich for the music diabetic."

"Treat U Rite" quickly gained heavy rotation on US R&B radio airplay. The song became an R&B hit, and peaked at #6 on the Billboard Top R&B Songs chart.[2] The self-titled album reached #11 on Billboard's Top R&B Albums chart.
