The album earned largely mixed reviews from musics critics, who complimented its production value but found that it failed to match the quality of Blige's usual output.

On May 30, 2014, it was announced that Think Like A Man Too (Music From & Inspired By the Film) would introduce an entire collection of new songs by Mary J. Blige, including the album's first single "Suitcase.

"[3] The music showcases Blige's signature sound, while her remake of Shalamar's hit "A Night To Remember" was inspired by key scenes in both the film and trailer.

"Moment of Love" and the Shalamar remake,"A Night to Remember", were released as promotional singles on iTunes on June 3, 2014, as part of the album pre-order.

Andy Kellmann of AllMusic gave the album a positive review, calling it "a solid, elegant '70s throwback dashed with Latin, Philly, and Memphis soul touches and an easy groove."

[7] Associated Press writer Melanie J. Sims found that "Blige, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, easily proves herself more than capable of exercising a vocal and emotional range to capture all the ups, downs and misfires one might expect from a movie inspired by Steve Harvey's best-selling relationship guide book."
