The song features guest vocals from American hip hop recording artist Lil Wayne, with the production that was handled by Soundz and the duo Rock City.

[8] The album's two promotional singles, "Been Around the World" featuring American singer Chris Brown and "Dreamer" were simultaneously released on December 3, 2015.

[1] Trent Clark of HipHopDX in a mixed review said that the album "doesn't stand out with a sound of its own, but rather takes what's already been done better lately from more relevant R&B artists".

Renato Pagnani of Pitchfork expressed a positive response, stating: "Alsina applies the tender, ruminative aspects of R&B to his street tales, and his second studio album solidifies his place amongst the upper echelon of modern-day R&B".

[11] Elias Leight of Rolling Stone said that the album is "a thuggy mixture of Chris Brown's X and Trey Songz' Anticipation II" stating that its sound "succeeded in fusing R&B and hip-hop".
