The production was handled from producers such as Fliptyce, Pappi J, Mecca E, Oskido, Sossick, Shizzi, UC Praw, Peter Okoye and Spellz.

It housed the singles "Soundtrack", "Cool Temper", "Ile Ijo", "Gat Me High", "You Want 2 Know Me", "Use Me", "So Many Tinz", and "Ur Eyes".

Ayomide Tayo of Nigerian Entertainment Today awarded the album a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, criticizing it for its excessive tracklist and cringey lyrical content.

Tayo noted that while May D showcased his vocal abilities, the album suffered from inconsistency and lacked a cohesive theme, stating "What’s a book without a story – a bunch of sentences?".

[8] Wilfred Okiche of YNaija provided a more nuanced critique, describing Chapter One as an ambitious yet flawed project.
