reaching number ninety-seven on the Hot 100. Its music video did, however, peak at number three on MTV's Total Request Live, and the single did well internationally, reaching the top forty of various countries, in addition to number twelve on the UK Singles Chart. Despite rumors of a third single being either "Ditto" or "Kiss Me", "Long Way 2 Go" was the last to be released from the album campaign. Critical reception Upon its release, Cassie received generally positive reviews from music critics. The Washington Post'''s Chris Richards described it as "One of the best pop albums released this year sounds it came from outer space. Or the future. Or maybe just heaven," adding that "Cassie's voice is incredibly sweet and somewhat hypnotic." Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone praised Leslie's production, "a master of the minimal electro hook, whether he's going for an R&B ballad ("Kiss Me") or hip-hop ("Long Way 2 Go")," while Cassie "shines with her understated cool", highlighting "What Do U Want" for mashing "bhangra with the Go-Go's [...] But the whole album coasts on the hypnotic groove of "Me and U"." In Slant Magazine, Sal Cinquemani also praised the production, making comparisons between Cassie and Janet Jackson, continuing to say "the album, which is only slightly longer than half-an-hour in length, plays to the singer's strengths, maximizing her limited range by keeping the songs short and the production simple." Mallory O’Donnell from Stylus Magazine called Cassie's vocals "confection", claiming that she "is possessed of a voice that's like candy: sweet, simple, and see-through-thin when you stretch it out like taffy," pointing out potential in "Cassie's still-developing vocal presence." Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Casey Dolan considered that Cassie "has fashioned an album that slots easily into the new hybrid stream of R&B with nods toward hip-hop and pop. Her distinguishing vocal delivery is soft and languid, unlike almost every other singer out there who shouts you into submission," continuing that it "deftly flirts with adult themes but in a youthful way." Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times said that the album "mastered R&B-lite songs over space-age beats", noting the track "Ditto" as a standout. AllMusic editor Andy Kellman commented that "As a vocalist, Cassie has enough character and ability to sell her material without fail. And there will never not be a need for a vocalist who doesn't handle each stage of a relationship
