Second single "What's So Different?" found some chart success, but failed to cross over on the level of previous singles, peaking at number 49 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Unsatisfied with the singles runs from 100% Ginuwine, Ginunwine and his team settled on "So Anxious" as the album's third single, which they considered the "main joint" on 100% Ginuwine. The song became its highest-charting single, reaching number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. "None of Ur Friends Business" was issued as the album's fourth and final single in October 1999 and became another top ten hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

If nothing grabs the ear like "Pony," most of the songs slowly work their way underneath the skin, revealing themselves as either seductive ballads or ingratiating dancefloor numbers. Timbaland continues to prove that he's one of the savviest producers in modern hip-hop and soul, but Ginuwine remains the star of the show, thanks to his rich, inviting voice." Entertainment Weeklys Matt Diehl called the album a "sensual peek into a futuristic bachelor boudoir of soul. Superproducer Timbaland attacks his duties with such fervor you'd think it was his solo album. On ballads or bumpers, Timbaland’s technotronic array of Jeep beats, feisty flamenco guitars, and Queen ”Flash Gordon” samples makes the proceedings 100% genuinely groovealicious." Yahoo! Music UK write that 100% Ginuwine was given "the golden-touch by R&B's hottest property, production genius Timbaland [who] really is the don of this style of production, mixing hip-hop vibes with latin influences and forging a entirely original R&B sound."http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/l_reviews_a/10059.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070815223517/http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/l_reviews_a/10059.html Ginuwine - '100% Ginuwine (Epic)' Yahoo! Music UK Rogan Josh 9 March 1999 15 August 2007 3 February 2026 dead Barry Walters from Rolling Stone found it "refreshing when an R&B loverman gets smoove without the schmaltz. The bump-'n'-grinding set of granite abs known as Ginuwine doesn't flaunt the monster lung power of a Johnny Gill, yet superstar producer and soul savior Timbaland transforms G's vocal limitations into sonic soap-opera realness. Amping up the delicious excesses of Ginuwine's debut, Ginuwine... the Bachelor, Timbaland turns every track into high, often hilarious drama with libidinous lyrics, slow-burning hooks, cinematic sound effects and more crafty rhythmic maneuvers than the Oval Office." Billboard felt that 100% Ginuwine "improves on the template for romantic hip-hop/soul antics established by 1996 debut album." He wrote that "that old-school love is echoed and made even more persuasive, according to today's hardcore standards, by mostly Timbaland-produced, emotionally wrought tracks constructed from stacks of thick, dramatic chords, lush background harmonies, and banging hip-hop beats."Reviews & Previews https://books.google.com/books?id=SQ0EAAAAMBAJ Billboard April 3, 1999 February 10, 2025 The Source note that 100% Ginuwine "maximizes radio play possibilities [...] Tim's jungle music influences run rampant [...] Ginuwine incorporates sensitive, Kenny Lattimore-like admissions, a style original macks tend to lack."
