After a fight he was expelled from the house where he was living and ended up homeless, [3] living in the subway until he met his manager Peter Schivarelli.

AllMusic | [15] |
Matt Collar from AllMusic gave to the album 3 out of 5 stars and stated that "the album showcases Jordan's soulful if slight voice with a radio-ready,synth-heavy R&B production" and that "while the album does contain altogether too much filler,"Right Kind of Love"'s Todd Rundgren meets Andy Gibb melodic hook almost qualifies it as a classic of the decade."
