Reception
Too Tough performed better on the charts than her previous album, Something About You. The title track, "Too Tough", laced with double entendre, became a sizable dancefloor hit, spending four weeks at number two on the Billboard Dance chart.[1] It also peaked at number five on the Billboard soul chart.[2] The remainder of the album has similar dance-pop songs and a few soulful ballads.
