Love and War is the second studio album by American singer Tamar Braxton.

Love and War also debuted at number two in digital sales, selling 51,000 copies, being beaten by Yours Truly once again.

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars, saying "Indeed, Love and War plays out like it's designed to contend with the likes of Ciara, Rihanna, Trey Songz, and maybe even Keyshia Cole, rather than those who came up around the same time as Braxton.

Slower, more atmospheric productions like 'Stay and Fight,' 'All the Way Home,' and 'Sound of Love' suit her the best and display her considerable skill – by now, given some of the artists who have come and gone since 2000, she should have at least four albums in her past.

The lighthearted numbers – like the Keri Hilson castoff-level 'Tip Toe,' the mind-numbing 'Hot Sugar,' and the Mike Will knockoff strip-club track 'She Did That' – are no match for the fully formed songs that seem rooted in Braxton's life experiences.

"[22] Kathy Iandoli of Vibe gave the album a positive review, saying "Love And War is at times all over the place, but that's perfectly fine.

"[23] Rick Florino of Artistdirect gave the album five out of five stars, saying "If there's one thing that you'll take away from Tamar Braxton's triumphant Love and War, it's that this girl can sing like few can.

Like all classic R&B records, it's Tamar's marvelous voice that resounds the loudest throughout—and long after it's over.
