David Jeffries from AllMusic found that "the sexier than expected LSG2 presents the singers as swashbuckling lords of the bedroom and shows little interest in crossing over to the pop world's more chaste framework. It's a good thing they allow themselves the freedom, since the album's highlights are the more racy numbers." Jeffries highlights the track, "Yesterday", with its "over the top emotion and meandering way bring[ing] reminders of Prince at his most lonely and lustful and giv[ing] the album some needed substance. Elsewhere the songwriting lags, but the slick production and LSG's passionate vocals make this seduction hard to resist."[1]
Commercial performance
LSG2 opened and peaked at number 6 on the US Billboard 200 and number 3 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums,[3] with first week sales of 66,000 copies.[4] It became the group’s second top-ten release on both charts, though it represented a significant decline from their previous album Levert.Sweat.Gill (1997), which had debuted with roughly double the first-week sales.[5]
