Prior to the release of this album, Peniston released her debut single "Finally", which topped the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Music Club Play chart on October 26, 1991, peaking eventually at number five on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and at number two in the UK Singles Chart. The album yielded two additional singles which achieved dance number one status in the US; "We Got a Love Thang", co-written by Chantay Savage, and "Keep On Walkin'", written in collaboration with Kym Sims. Both songs entered the UK Singles Chart Top 10 and the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 Top Twenty in the US.〔('CeCe Peniston, US Dance Chart History' ) Billboard〕 Despite the success of the singles, the album itself climbed only to number seventy on the US ''Billboard'' 200. However, during its thirty-six weeks long presence in the chart it sold over 554,000 copies in the US.〔To review the original source, you will have to subscribe to billboard.biz website to access the billboard.biz link. *〕 The album peaked on the UK Albums Chart at number ten.

Craig Lytle from Allmusic lauded the album in his review as "outstanding", and it being a "solidly produced collection". Giving the set four out of five stars, he wrote that the album warranted an additional single release.〔 Amy Linden from ''Entertainment Weekly'' stated that Peniston has "a good enough voice" (which she stressed as a novelty among dance-music dollies), but apart from its title single, plus the funky ode "Virtue", she ranked the rest of album a B- for being "mainly standard issue and pretty dull".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Finally (CeCe Peniston album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
