Their first album with both labels, following their departure from So So Def and Island Records, the project boasts a mix of the old and new; Jagged Edge's sexy R&B sound and contemporary beats by producers such as Cool & Dre, Cainon Lamb, Bigg D, and Jim Jonsin, as well as band members Brandon and Brian Casey.

[1] As with their previous album, band members Brandon and Brian Casey became instrumental in producing the majority of the Jagged Edge's material for The Remedy.

[1] Group member Kyle Norman described The Remedy as an attempt at "a new creation, a new birth" and further added: "We want to bring a little light to what we’ve been doing for the past 11-12 years.

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found that "a few years of inactivity and that false start notwithstanding, The Remedy easily falls into place as yet another decent, occasionally great Jagged Edge album that further refines their brand of sophisticated salaciousness.

"[7] Edward Bowser from Soul in Stereo felt that The Remedy "is certainly not as schizophrenic as Jagged Edge's last albums, but its major drawback is that it's a bit too cohesive.

Thanks to similar production and themes, about half of the tracks blend into each other [...] Jagged Edge's new set doesn’t quite measure up to their greatest work, but it’s a success nonetheless.
