The album topped the R&B albums chart, his third album to do so. It also topped the Billboard 200 and peaked at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart.[4] The album included two Billboard R&B number-one singles, "Can`t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" and "You`re the First, the Last, My Everything". Both were also successful on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at numbers 1 and 2 respectively. Both singles were also hits on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at numbers 8 and 1 respectively.[4] The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD on March 19, 1996 by Island/Mercury Records.
Critical reception
Village Voice critic Robert Christgau mockingly wrote: "Inspirational Clichés: `doin` our own thing,` `different strokes for different folks,` `rather fight than switch.` Inspirational Emphases: `very important,` `very very very very true,` `truly truly.` Inspirational Epithet: `hope-to-die woman.` Inspirational Drum Sound: `thwop.`"[3]
In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 281 the magazine`s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time,[5] and at 283 in a 2012 revised list.[6]
