AllMusic[1]

The charting singles were "Never Find Someone Like You" by Keith Martin which peaked at No. 42 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, "Someone to Love" by Jon B. featuring Babyface which peaked at No. 10 on the Hot 100 and No. 7 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and "Shy Guy" by Diana King which peaked at No. 13 on the Hot 100 and No. 21 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.[citation needed]

The album was well received by fans of the rap/R&B genres but disappointed fans of Mark Mancina's movie score as only one of up to fifteen tracks composed for the film by Mancina was featured on the album.[citation needed] Also, most of the industrial rock tracks which featured primarily in the "Club Hell" scene are also missing from the album. These include "Nothing" by Stabbing Westward, "Angels" by Dink and "Sweet Little Lass" by DAG.[citation needed]

The original score by Mark Mancina[2] was released in September 2007 by La-La Land Records as a limited edition of 3000 copies.[3]
