- The album reached number 17 on Billboard's Soul Albums chart and number 173 on the Top 200.
- It was recorded at Stax's Enterprise studios in Memphis, Tennessee.
- Unlike Hayes's subsequent, more overtly sexual concept albums, "...To Be Continued" is a more restrained affair, focused on instrumental arrangements.
