New World Order was the only Curtis Mayfield album written, recorded and released after a life-changing accident in August 1990 left him paralyzed from the neck down. Mayfield continued to compose and sing, and his vocals were recorded, usually line-by-line, while he was lying on his back.[10]
AllMusic described the album as "a touching, moving comeback".[4] Rolling Stone called the LP "a triumphant return".[5]
New World Order was Grammy nominated for "Best R&B Album".[11]
Both the album's title track and the song "Back to Living Again" were also Grammy nominated for "Best Male R&B Vocal Performance".[11]
