The album received favorable reviews from music critics, who called it McKnight's most adventurous and ambitious album yet, and debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200, moving 153,000 units in its first week. While this marked McKnight's biggest first week sales, it failed to duplicate the multi-platinum success of previous album Back at One (1999), reaching gold status. In 2002, McKnight released several new songs on a reissue of the album, titled Superhero & More. At the 44th Annual Grammy Awards, three songs from the album, including singles "Love of My Life" and "Still," earned four nominations.
