The lead single "I Love Your Smile" peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the R&B charts. The album also features a remake of Minnie Riperton's 1974 hit "Lovin' You" which hit number 59 on the R&B Singles chart in the summer of 1992. Shanice would cover the song for a second time on her 2006 album Every Woman Dreams.
