The Reflection is the eleventh studio album by Keb' Mo'. It was released on August 2, 2011, through Yolabelle International and distributed through Rykodisc. It was his first full-length studio album since the release of Suitcase in 2006 and featured guest performances by Vince Gill, Dave Koz and India Arie. After the termination of his contract with Sony, Moore 'took the time to get my family started and study the record business as it is now and where it’s going'. This album differs stylistically from his past record, and was describes as having an 'adult-contemporary' vibe. It includes renditions of "One of These Nights" by The Eagles and "Crush on You" by Kevin So.
The album was recorded over a three-year period that saw Moore move from Los Angeles to Nashville, and suffering the loss of a number of instruments during the 2010 floods. Besides two covers, he co-wrote with Gill, Melissa Manchester, Alan Rich, and Maia Sharp. The song "Inside Outside" was written together with Skip Ewing. The song "We Don't Need It" had originally been recorded for the Keep it Simple album, while the traditional "Something Within" included contributions from Moore's extended family.
The album was moderately successful and reached #81 in the Billboard 200 Album chart.
