Revival udvidede gruppens eksponering for fans ud over deres oprindelige R&B-publikum. De blev dog ambivalente over deres nyfundne mainstream-succes og over at deres musik blev betegnet som "retro" af kritikerne. I et interview til People Magazine udtrykte forsanger og bassist Raphael Wiggins sin utilfredshed med musikindustrien og sagde, at "alle pladeselskaber vil have en gruppe og sætte dem i en Benz med en biltelefon og en bipper, vise dem klædt i tre forskellige outfits, sætte dem i en video, der er optaget på en strand med masser af svingende bikinier. Du vil aldrig se os på en strand. Vi er bare jordnære, funky og kan lide at lege." Før bandet overvejede at lave et opfølgende album, indspillede de flere sange til filmsoundtracks, herunder "Me and You" til Boyz n the Hood (1991), "House Party (I Don't Know What You Come to Do)" til House Party 2 (1991) og "Waiting on You" til Poetic Justice (1993).

The Revival broadened the group's exposure to fans beyond their initial R&B audience. However, they became ambivalent about their newfound mainstream success and their music being labeled "retro" by critics. In an interview for People magazine, lead singer and bassist Raphael Wiggins expressed his dissatisfaction with the music industry, saying that "every record company wants to get a group and put 'em in a Benz with a car phone and a beeper, show them dressing in three different outfits, put them in a video shot on a beach with lots of swinging bikinis. You won't ever see us on a beach. We're just down-to-earth, funky, like-to-play guys." Before considering a follow-up album, the band recorded several songs for film soundtracks, including "Me and You" for Boyz n the Hood (1991), "House Party (I Don't Know What You Come to Do)" for House Party 2 (1991), and "Waiting on You" for Poetic Justice (1993).
