The album was met with positive reviews from critics . ABC News gave the album a 4 out 5 start rating , describing the album as " This record seems gloriously stuck in a time warp . Honestly , Babyface and Braxton give us a glimpsing reminder of what high-quality R&B radio used to offer its listeners . Even when the two are hitting the " divorce " part of the record , it never sounds like a downer . It 's two pros rekindling the pop magic . Considering this is Babyface 's first album in 7 years and Braxton 's first album in 4 years , this album delivers a much needed shot in the arm . This record was an extremely smart move . " Andy Kellman from AllMusic gave the album a 3 out 5 star rating , stating " On Love , Marriage & Divorce , Toni Braxton and Babyface , creative partners going back to the early '90s , rekindle their musical relationship . Both endured broken marriages , and presumably it 's those experiences that inform the material here -- a succinct collection of 11 songs , eight of which are duets . " Robert Christgau from Cuepoint gave the album a A - rating , stating " Through one number-one album , two number-two albums , one Vegas run , two Disney-on-Broadway runs , one season of Dancing With the Stars , two bankruptcies , and , absolutely , one divorce , Braxton has been as content-free as a soul diva can be . No wonder Kenny Edmunds grabbed her early on ‑- she was platinum putty in his hands . " The album was also nominated for World 's Best Album at the 2014 World Music Awards . The album won Best R&B Album at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards
