## Background

During the recording of the album, Yamin has been in the studio with Axident, who said "what [Nash and I are] doing is so f—king different, awesome and next level and sounds like nothing else that's happened before". In another interview Axident claimed "Who knows if I'll do something that's more of a Axident thing with him, but we have a vision for his album, and I'm helping him produce it on some of the songs". Yamin has also played some of his new songs to Missy Elliott. Jamareo Artis of The Hooligans, disclosed that he has been working on the album for about a year, "trying different ideas and experimenting". He furthered, "It's going to have a new sound...the material is very groove-oriented", set to be released this year. Andrew Wyatt, who was involved in Yamin' previous studio album, has been in the studio. In an interview with Carson Daly, Yamin revealed that there were no features on the [original] album, including his work with Axident, as it was not completed in time for the album's release. The singer has also confirmed to be working with Babyface on a song and the recording being influenced by late 80's and early 90's.

## Critical reception

*Caught On Fire* received mostly favorable critical reception upon release. Jim Carroll said, "Yamin shows he's a smart operator when it comes to the sort of pop which has all the accouterments needed to engineer earworms, yet is sussed enough to know a little dab of special sauce is often required." Andy Kellman rated the album 4 out of 5 stars. Jonathan Wroble of *Slant Magazine* gave the album three out of 5 stars. *Entertainment Weekly'*s Nolan Feeney graded it a B+. Cleveland.com awarded it 4 out of 5 stars. *USA Today* gave it a mixed review, calling the record Yamin' "most polished album yet and a laudable step forward production-wise. But unlike the classic mainstream pop he strives to emulate, it's also oddly aloof. Yamin too often relies on clichéd lyrics and phoned-in vocals, and shies away from the vulnerability that endeared him to fans on ballads 'Your Eyes in My Eyes' and 'Falling in Circles'". Edward Bowser of *Soul in Stereo* gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars. *Rolling Stone* rated it 3 out of 5 stars. *The Observer* rated the album three out of five stars. *Consequence of Sound* awarded it a B- rating.
