==Chart Performance==
"Measure of a Man" debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, with 613,000 copies sold during its first week (making it the highest-selling debut for a solo artist since Snoop Dogg's 1993 album, "Doggystyle" in December 1993).
The album was certified multi-platinum by the RIAA in November of 2003.
==Critical Reception==
Wade Paulsen of Reality TV World wrote that despite huge sales "Critics have ranged from strongly positive (Billboard) to mixed (Washington Post, which calls the CD a "likable album even without being a particularly good one", and Knight-Ridder), to negative (Associated Press, which refers to the song selections as "insipid"), to scathingly negative (the New York Daily News)."
Allmusic gave the album a three-star rating, writing: "Clay's earnest delivery -- somewhat sweet and expertly coached -- gives these songs a bit of innocence and believability, but the slickness of the whole enterprise overshadows his voice, particularly because his voice isn't all that remarkable on record."
