Knight co-produced eight of the eleven tracks on the album with help from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and a then unknown Robin Thicke.

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised Knight for updating his "smooth urban soul stylings" with various "contemporary sources to create a stylized, fresh sound."

He concluded that: "Jordan Knight is not a perfect album -- there's a little bit of filler that weighs down the second half of the record -- but the best moments are surprisingly strong, innovative, and assured: the kind of mainstream music that would be impressive regardless of the source, but it's all the more remarkable considering Knight's teen pop heritage.

"[1] Marc Weingarten of the Los Angeles Times praised Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for adding "sonic sparkle into even the most workmanlike tracks" throughout the album.

"[3] David Browne, writing for Entertainment Weekly, criticized the record for Knight's "well-bred but bland" vocal performance, the overreliance of samples and remakes throughout the track listing, and the "buttery production" removing any semblance of soul.
