The album peaked at number thirty-four on the Billboard 200 chart. By November 2002, it was certified platinum in sales by the RIAA, after sales exceeding 1,000,000 copies in the United States.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic was critical of the album's running time and felt it was padded with some filler songs; however, he did call the work "a true step forward for 702."[3] Paul Verna from Billboard praised the albums material and thought the group did a good job delivering an album "full of satisfying, hip-shaking tracks, not just a few radio-friendly singles". [1] Beth Johnson from Entertainment Weekly was mixed in her review although she thought the album was "cannily polished" due to its writers and producers, she declared it's "hard to distinguish" 702 "from the swelling tsunami of R&B girl groups".[2]
