For the production of the album, Milian worked with Bloodshy & Avant, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Cory Rooney, Warryn Campbell, Bryan-Michael Cox and Poli Paul.

The album's lead single "Dip It Low" became Milian's most successful to date, peaking at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and within the top 10 in numerous European countries.

[8] The album featured production from Bloodshy & Avant,[9] "Darkchild",[7] Cory Rooney, Warryn Campbell,[10] Bryan-Michael Cox and Poli Paul.

"[14] The style and sound of the album was compared to that of Beyoncé, Paula Abdul and Jennifer Lopez by several critics,[9][10] as well as Britney Spears, Aaliyah and Ashanti.

[1][15] After several comparisons to Beyoncé Knowles in regards to appearance, Milian said "I think she is a lovely artist, very talented but the only reason I changed my color hair is because I was getting bored of my same old look and I wanted to do something different.

"[16] Elysa Gardner of USA Today found that with Milian's "slight, sweet vocals and blithe, breezy pop-soul sensibility", the genre of the album was more pop than R&B.

[10] Andy Kellman of Allmusic described "Dip It Low" as "a clever and ubiquitous slice of high-class raunch", and compared the album's sound to both Beyoncé's "Dangerously in Love" and Jennifer Lopez's "This Is Me...

[9] Eric R. Danton of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said "Dip It Low" had the "plinking of an unusual Far Eastern-sounding stringed instrument", and "Whatever U Want" "rolls on a bass-and-drum combo".

Farber criticized the lyricists for writing "so many cliches", and said that Milian's voice "suggests a slightly more forceful version of Janet Jackson's pant".

[17] Andy Kellman of Allmusic praised the club tracks, feeling that they "work best and easily outrank the slower songs".

Sanneh explained that Milian "breathes a serpentine melody over a beat that consists of jagged snippets: some guitar chugging, a few handclaps, a couple of strategically placed beeps and, in the chorus, an unexpected nose-diving bass line.

"[20] Contrary to the views of other critics, Barry Walters of Rolling Stone said that although the ballads were "gooey", "the love songs work better than the dance tracks".

James praised the "sexy booty bumper" "Dip It Low" for its "reggae-ish bass groove, a hypnotic Middle Eastern refrain", and called Fabolous' rap "perfectly chilled".

[22] In the UK, the album peaked at number 21, selling a total of 63,708 copies,[23] and achieving Silver certification by the British Phonographic Industry.
