Mwaka wa 2006, wimbo ya "Just a Friend [Old School Version]" ilitolewa nchini Ujapani.

Uchambuzi
Dan Leroy kutoka Allmusic alisema kuwa albamu hii "hutoa mambo kuhusu vitu halisi; mchanganyiko wake wa Nickelodeon na ubunifu wake wa kikweli hutukumbusha Michael Jackson mdogo.  "Chick Wit 'da Braids" na wimbo wa "Never" ziliongoza, na wimbo wa pili, "Braid My Hair," inatukumbusha ubaya wa kuwa mwanamuziki mdogo. Nyimbo hizi 11 hutoa mwanga kuhusu Mario alivyo". 

Uendeleshaji
Mario alikuwa kwenye 2002-03 Pandemonium / Scream Tour 3 pamoja na Bow Wow, ROC, Denim, Nick Cannon, Marques Houston na B2K. 

Singles
Single ya kwanza, Just a Friend 2002, ambayo ni bima ya wimbo wa Biz markie inayoitwa Just a Friend, ilivuma sana. Ilishinda wimbo wa asili kwenye chati za Billboard Hot 100 kwa kufika namba 4, na katika Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs ilifika namba 2, na kuwa nyimbo mojawapo ya Mario iliyopata mafanikio. Nchini Uingereza, ilifika namba 18. Braid My Hair ilikuwa single ya pili ya Mario na kwa kulinganisha na wimbo wa kwanza, haikufanikiwa, kwani ilifika namba 74 tu kwenye Billboard Hot 100 na namba 18 kwenye Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Single ya tatu na ya mwisho C'mon ilifika namba 61 kwenye Hot R & B / Hip-Hop na namba 21 nchini Uingereza.
