The album was moderately successful (due to singles such as "Golden Boys") and received positive reviews with most complementing her soulful, jazz-like vocals and her eclecticism. However, her mainstream relevance wouldn't last very long, seen as a result of not really fitting in comfortably enough with any other neo soul artists of the time and her label being phased out and absorbed by sister label Geffen Records. Leading her not to release another record until 2009's ''Black.Girls.Rock!''.

Released in 2001 on MCA Records, the record would be something of an anomaly within neo soul music at the time. As despite being a native of Philadelphia residental neo soul scene, it would experiment heavily with [[TripHop trip hop]] and alternative music of the era. Lending to its psychedelic and indie rock-esque sound and style. Another fact that would become notable about this record is that it would be mostly co-written and produced by the (at the time) little known producers Martin "Doc" [=McKinney=] (who would later become known for being the producer on Music/TheWeeknd's seminal ''Balloons'' trilogy) and Santi White, who would later go on as a solo artist by the name of Music/{{Santigold}}.

!!How I Trope
* AlbumSingle: "Golden Boys", "They-Say Vision"
* BadassBoast: Quite a few, particularly:
** "Golden Boys":
-->''Girls like me don’t need no bubbling mindstate thrown up in my face''
** "Sittin' Back":
-->''I just wanna blow up\\
Then baby who knows who'll win the game\\
When I close my eyes it all looks the same\\
I don't wanna know nobody's name\\
'Cuz I'm going for dough when I go for game''
** "How I Do":
-->''Look, as far as I can see\\
Your head is blockin' my TV\\
What you want for me to say\\
I said, "Whatever, go away"\\
What is it that I adore\\
If you pay me then I'll tell you more\\
You're looking for some reason why\\
I'm arrogant (that's right)''
** "The Hustler":
-->''I’ll be on my own\\
It don’t matter, I’m grown\\
I won’t be singing no sad song in the land\\
And if I rub you wrong, baby, I’ll come on strong\\
I got no mind to cushion what I say''
* DestructiveRomance: "Ice King" is about one with a drug dealer:
-->''Although I've seen your wickedness\\
I still love your effervescence\\
And I know that loving you don't make no sense\\
But I guess that's why I like it''
* GenreMashup: Like many neo soul releases of its time it would experiment with multiple genres. What set it apart is it's experimentation with genres neo soul was already associated with such as trip hop, new wave and post-punk.
* HiddenTrack: "Say It Anyway"
* LongDistanceRelationship: Described on "700 Mile Situation":
-->''No one can tell me I don't know about the ins and outs of how it goes\\
Impulse traveler\\
Why can't you stay with me tonight?''
* LongestSongGoesLast: "Tsunami" and on special editions, "Toxic You", which are the last tracks on either version of the album and the longest at seven minutes (however, both are technically two tracks, with the second hidden track, "Say It Anyway", seperated by some silence).
* NeoSoul: The most common and concise genre descriptor for this record.
* OutOfGenreExperience: Hidden track "Say It Anyway" is this, coming at the end of the record after a moment of silence from the previous song and blaring out loud with a sound reminiscent of late 90s {{grunge}} and [[PostPunk post-punk]].
* {{Sampling}}: "Let Love" would sample "Other Voices" by Music/TheCure.
* TakeThat: "Golden Boys" is one towards men who put forth a glamorous image of themselves to make up for their insecurities:
-->''Now would they love you if we knew all the things that we know\\
Those golden boys are all a fraud\\
Don't believe their show\\
Now would they love you if they knew all the things that we know\
Golden boy\\
Life ain't a video''
** "They-Say Vision" is another one against conformists within the music industry.
-->''Industry’s down think I've died and I've flown away, yeah\\
So, so long to thieves who came and take all the things to say\\
I play the joker sometimes, but then those moments slide back my way''
* TitleTrack: "How I Do"
* TripHop: The album would be sonically shaped by this genre, with its spacious and groovy production and atmosphere.
