“Just a Dream,” essentially an adult contemporary pop-rap single -- a song that would be easily adaptable to a country or pop ballad singer -- became
Nelly’s first Top Ten single in five years. Along with that, the rapper's sixth studio album features a handful of memorable hooks, such as the slick ones within the Smash Factory-produced “She’s So Fly” and the
Polow-produced “Long Gone.”
