The album's only single, "Don't You Wanna Be Mine", reached No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 69 on Billboard Radio Songs chart.[2][3] Although it never received a full commercial release in the UK, the song became a popular song on the country's dance scene, largely due to a remix from the production duo Robert Clivillas and David Cole, better known as C+C Music Factory.[4]

In 1991, the song "I Want U 2 Know" was included in the romantic musical comedy film Cool as Ice, starring Vanilla Ice and Kristin Minter. The track was one of the main themes of the film, played during the Kristin Minter scenes, however was not included on the official soundtrack album.[5]

Upon release, Billboard wrote: "Lopez is a sassy singer who delivers on the money most of the time, but her work is too often sabotaged by sound-alike production that is infecting many dance records these days. Still, she's at her best on up-tempo tracks, and both "Don't You Wanna Be Mine" and "Causa U" have a good shot on the floor."[6]

In a retrospective review, Justin Kantor of AllMusic described the album as "more versatile than her first - if not as consistent". He stated: "She shows she is equally comfortable with pop-dance workouts, moody ballads, and midtempo funk romps. But it's the trio of ballads that do the trick best. Some of the uptempo ditties are too heavily produced and, combined with the singer's no-holds-barred delivery, come across as caustic and harsh."[1]
