Critical reception

Mayfield continued to compose and sing, and his vocals were recorded, usually line-by-line, while he was lying on his back.[4]

New World Order was Grammy nominated for "Best R&B Album".[7] Both the album's title track and the song "Back to Living Again" were also Grammy nominated for "Best Male R&B Vocal Performance".[7]
