It has been certified ] by the ], sold about four million copies worldwide (a relative failure for Carey) and was generally panned by many critics, though '']'' declared it "a big step foward in terms of maturity for one of pop music's eternal kids" and gave it a three-star review. It was released shortly before the film ''Glitter'', in which Carey starred, which was also a critical and commercial failure. Carey has cited the ] as one of the reasons the album failed. In an interview, she said: "I released it around 9/11. I became a punching bag. I was so successful that they tore me down because my album was at No. 2 instead of No. 1. The media was laughing at me and attacked me." (In fact, her album debuted at number seven on the U.S. ] chart and fell rapidly after that, remaining on the chart for twelve weeks. It was actually the lead single that was at number 2, instead of number 1). The poor reaction toward Carey's film debut was also blamed for the poor sales of the album. |

The track "If We" was later re-worked by ] and released as a single with ], ] and Mariah Carey in ] (see ]). Conflicts between Damizza and ] led Damizza to recruit Cassidy to replace Sheist on the single version. Sheist retaliated with his own remix titled "G-Mix", which is a re-worked version featuring ] and Carey. "What Would You Do" was popular on the west coast of the U.S. (where Carey had performed it while on tour in Los Angeles), but it was a failure elsewhere in the country. The song received minimal airplay in Europe, but was not a hit there. |
