The track peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on both the R&B and Adult Contemporary (AC) charts. Other tracks that charted include "In Your Eyes" (#15 AC, #82 R&B)(originally recorded by George Benson), "Soweto" (#11 Dance, #18 R&B), and "Room with a View" (#29 R&B). The album reached #5 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and #27 on the Billboard 200.
