The third album released by the Deele, it became the band's most commercially successful album, on the strength of what is perhaps the group's best-known hit, the R&B top 5 and pop top ten single, "Two Occasions," along with the R&B top ten follow-up, "Shoot 'Em Up Movies."[3] It was shortly after the release of this album that primary group songwriters Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and L.A. Reid left the band to pursue production work.[2]

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA.[4]

gollark: The policy says it isn't, though.
gollark: That isn't national law but international, although the policy affects both. It's not relevant, though, as the superseding of it by itself does not affect it.
