Reception
The Allmusic review awarded the album 3½ stars stating "A mixture of funk and blues-rock, the new direction turned out dark and brooding... The reinvented James went over well with the public. The album garnered good sales and was even nominated for an Grammy Award".[1]
The album reached peak positions of number 154 on the US Billboard 200 and number 41 on the Billboard R&B chart.[5]
