AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that Campbell's "voice is remarkably expressive, able to handle both ballads and up-tempo dance tracks without losing confidence. When he has the right material – like the hit single, Prince's "Round and Round" – the results are flawless; if the material is weak, he's merely enjoyable."[3] The album also garnered Campbell his first two Grammy nominations, one in 1991 for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance (for "Round and Round"), and one in 1992 for the same award (for "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do").[4]
T.E.V.I.N. yielded two No. 1 R&B hits in "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do" and "Alone with You", and had several other hits. Of the combined eight singles that were released off his debut album, five having peaked inside the R&B top 10, Prince produced "Round and Round", while Al B. Sure! and Kyle West produced "Goodbye" and "Just Ask Me To". The remaining singles off his album are "Strawberry Letter 23", "One Song" and "Confused".
