The album was produced by Gerald Levert and Marc Gordon. Gordon began working on For Real Tho while Gerald was promoting his 1991 solo album.[5]
The Baltimore Sun wrote that "Gerald Levert's lead vocals don't just underscore the music's emotional content; they also reinforce the rhythm."[6] The Washington Post thought that "Gerald is singing better than ever, which is one of the reasons why the trio's latest album ... ranks among its best."[7] USA Today wrote that "Gerald's rugged baritone is sounding more like his dad's every day."[8]
