The album achieved modest success on the Billboard charts, making it to #103 on the Billboard 200 and #16 on the Top R&B Albums chart. The two singles released found greater success; "New Jack Swing", which features new jack swing pioneer Teddy Riley, reached No. 1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart, while "Juicy" made it to No. 6 on the same chart.

This was the only album by the group to include original founding member Brandon Mitchell, as Mitchell would later be shot and killed less than a year later on August 8, 1990.
