Upon its release, the album earned largely mixed reviews from music critics, many of whom considered the album confident but found the material uneven or generic. A commercial success, Danity Kane sold over 109,000 copies in its first day of release, placing it at number one on the US Billboard 200. Having surpassed sales in excess of 935,000 copies by 2008, it was eventually certified Platinum by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for over one million copies shipped domestically. In support of the album, Danity Kane released two singles, including the top ten hit "Show Stopper," and served as the singer Christina Aguilera's opening act during the North American leg of her Back to Basics Tour (2007).
Much of Danity Kane was recorded between February and May 2006 at The Hit Factory in Miami, Florida. "I Wish," a previously unreleased song that the band had worked on with on with Shannon Jones and Jack Knight during the production of the album, was released digitally in February 2021.[1] In May 2023, band member Aubrey O'Day disclosed that several songs that they had recorded were left unused and instead re-recorded with other artists for Combs' fourth studio album Press Play (2006), including "Come to Me" featuring Nicole Scherzinger, "Tell Me" featuring Christina Aguilera and "After Love" featuring Keri Hilson.[2]
Singlesedit
Jim Jonsin-produced "Show Stopper" featuring rapper Yung Joc was released as the album's lead single. It debuted at number 17 US Billboard Hot 100 in the week of September 2, 2006 and eventually peaked at number eight the following week.[3] In Germany, the song debuted and peaked at number 27 on the German Singles Chart in November 2006, becoming the band's only top 40 hit there.[4] "Show Stopper" was followed by the moderately successful single "Ride for You" which peaked at number 78 on the US Billboard Hot 100 only.[3]
Danity Kane earned generally mixed reviews from music critics. Deepti Hajela from CBS News wrote that "Diddy's taking no chances [...] And it pretty much pays off. While there are a few clunkers, and some clear filler, there are also some standouts."[9]AllMusic rated the album three stars ouf of five and found that the band members "easily display enough sensuality and confidence to position themselves for competition in the pop diva big leagues."[6]Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield wrote that "with producers like Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and Jim Jonsin, Danity Kane are positioned to inherit the legacy of O-Town."[8] John Bergstrom, writing for PopMatters, argued that "instead of being eclectic or even disparate, Danity Kane is full of the clattering, mid-tempo, bass-heavy, spaced-out grooves that currently dominate mainstream hip-hop and "R&B." It sounds good as far as this type of thing goes. Every so often, the production is even interesting [...] But most of the rest runs from undistinguished to intolerable."[7]
