Its lead single, "Getto Jam", peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Hot Rap Songs, and went gold on January 5, 1994, for selling 500,000 units in the United States. The second single off of the album, "Sweet Potatoe Pie", reached No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the Hot Rap Songs.
The Washington Post concluded that "there's some sex talk but little of the bitch-ho mentality; overall, it's a less bass-heavy, sonically lighter shade of funk."[1] The Los Angeles Times noted that "Domino's rapping voice is slightly sing-songy, slightly nasal, a flexible instrument that insinuates itself into the grooves like a riffing alto sax; the hooks in the songs come from the implied melodic cadences in the rhymes."
