Critics uniformly lauded this album as a great leap from his debut on the scene two years prior to this largely mature effort.

[1] The album opens with the first single "Days Like This", an introspective midtempo R&B track with avant garde electronic inflections.

Lattimore also reimagines The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" as a soulful ballad that closes with a hypnotically layered arrangement of background vocals.

[2] ...From the Soul of Man is heightened by the strength of Lattimore's impressive voice, which effortlessly transform from a deep, smoky alto into a bright falsetto--always sounding pure and sublime.

[6] Sales of the album took off again in 2020 after The Last Dance showed Michael Jordan discussing with reporters an advance copy of what Lattimore later confirmed was From the Soul of Man.
