[3] "The album is a mixture in styles of modern jazz with singer-songwriter elements, and a lot of it is really soulful" – Leon Jackson speaking about Right Now The first single, "Don't Call This Love", was released on 12 October 2008.

Jackson made a guest appearance on the fifth series of The X Factor the night before, to perform the single.

[12] On 19 March 2009 it was confirmed that Leon Jackson was dropped by his label, Syco/Sony, after poor sales of his album and the lack of success of his most recent singles.

[14] A video for the single was made by each of the final four of the series, Jackson, Rhydian Roberts, Same Difference, and Niki Evans.

[16] In December 2007, to help promote Right Now and the single "When You Believe", Jackson performed on various UK television shows such GMTV, This Morning and The X Factor.

"Don't Call this Love" entered the United Kingdom chart at No.3, behind Pink's "So What" and Peter Kay's "The Winners Song".

[17] Jackson performed the album's third single, "Creative", on the 2008 televised Children in Need, broadcast in November.

Like many X Factor winner singles, it entered the United Kingdom chart at #1, staying there for 3 weeks, and #1 in Ireland.

In the United Kingdom, "Don't Call this Love" debuted inside the top five on the UK Singles Charts, charting at number three week beginning 25 November 2008, following several promotional appearances, including a "winner's comeback" performance on The X Factor.

The following week, "Don't Call this Love" fell to number eleven on the UK charts, slipping out of the top ten entirely.

The single topped the Scottish Singles Charts and remained at the number one position for two weeks,[20] before slipping to number five on the charts and being knocked off the top spot by the X Factor's cover version of Mariah Carey's "Hero".

[23] "Don't Call this Love" continued to fall down the charts in Scotland[24] until its eighth week in the chart, where an increase in sales meant "Don't Call this Love" climbed from number twenty to number seventeen.

[26] In Ireland, "Don't Call This Love" debuted at number eight on the Irish Singles Charts, where it remained within the top 100 for a further five weeks.

[28] On 10 January 2009 "Don't Call this Love" re-entered the UK Singles Charts at number ninety-three.

Jackson did not appear on any TV show to promote the single, nor was any music video created for the song.

The BBC commented on "Stargazing", "While the lyrics for 'Stargazing' may be rather saccharine—rhyming 'star gazing' with 'amazing' is a bit too much to take—the pace and structure (along with all-important key change) makes it pretty special—which can be said about all the tracks here.

Digital Spy rated the album two out of five, saying "Jackson doesn't do a bad job, wrapping his warm, smooth vocals around a succession of beige ballads, classics that are too old for him (Leon Russell's 'A Song For You', Dorothy Moore's 'Misty Blue', Ray Charles's 'You Don't Know Me') and the odd uptempo big band number.

But other than sounding surprisingly manly for a slight 19-year-old and singing in a Scottish accent for the first time on the album's penultimate track, he doesn't make much of an impression.
