The album failed to regain Kool Moe Dee much of the success and popularity he had in the mid-1980s. It is his last studio album to date.

Critical reception

The Daily Press wrote that the beats, "while competent by the standards of a few years ago, sound flat compared to the innovations of Dr. Dre."[6] The Spin Alternative Record Guide thought that "Kool Moe Dee and his crew stand firm in their classicism."[3] This Reached 64 on the R&B Charts
