Still in the Game is the sixth studio album by American singer Keith Sweat. It was released by Elektra Records on September 22, 1998, in the United States. The title of the album refers to Sweat being in the music business for over a decade. It was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 14, 1998.[1] The single "Come and Get with Me" peaked at number 12 in the US. Follow-up "I'm Not Ready", released that same year, peaked at number 16.
Allmusic editor Michael Gallucci wrote that "Sweat is still capable of making decent records a decade into his career. He knows the secret of a good slow-groove album: seduction on the most intimate of levels. And on Still in the Game, Sweat goes one-on-one with his audience, playing into their hearts and souls with his typically smooth-croon grandeur. It all sounds a bit familiar (as well as a bit programmed) – and the Jermaine Dupri, Erick Sermon and Too Short cameos add absolutely nothing to Sweat's sweet mix – but there's a cool sexuality in his grooves and moves."
