Apart from Elliott, singers Tweet and Betty Wright as well as Stone's daughter Diamond appear as backing vocalists on the song. Released as the album's second single, it reached number 19 on Billboards Adult R&B Songs. "U-Haul" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 47th Grammy Awards.[1]
Elle magazine called the "I-should-have-left-your-ass-years-ago ballad" Stone Loves "standout track."[2] while Lynn Norment from Ebony described the song as "brassy."[3] In his review of Stone Love Robert Hilburn, writing for The Los Angeles Times, wrote: "Stone shines on her own, especially with "U-Haul," a song co-written and co-produced by Missy Elliott that serves as a playful statement of survival."[4]
