 Its lead single "Read Your Mind" reached number 13 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100.Alex Henderson from AllMusic rated the album three stars out of five.He wrote that "the same issues that weighed down Avant's previous two albums, rendering them good if uneven releases, continue to run unchecked for "Private Room" [...] So, once again, there's a handful of excellent contemporary R&B songs surrounded by too much material that's either decent or middling."
