History

The album topped the R&B albums chart. It also reached #16 on the Billboard 200.

Both were also successful on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #3 and #32 respectively. "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby" was also a hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #23. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD with instrumental bonus tracks on May 4, 2010, by Hip-O Select.

The album received moderate reviews. Stephen Erlewine of AllMusic wrote: "In a sense, his sound is fully formed—there’s no mistaking his velvet baritone or his lush, string-draped surrounding, particularly on the album’s closing “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby,” a song so seductive it set the pace for the rest of his career".[2] However, the album was criticized for sounding like Isaac Hayes. Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote "White's hustle is to combine Isaac Hayes's power with Al Green's niceness, and he succeeds, in his way, but the synthesis has its drawbacks--tends to compound his humorlessness and mendacity as well.[3]"
