Despite being released on a major label, the album was a commercial failure, only reaching number 88 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Following the album, Grand Daddy I.U. appeared on Big L's 1995 album, Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous and then went on a 12-year hiatus before returning in 2007 with his third studio album, Stick to the Script.
