This Is How We Do It (album)

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine found that "Jordan was blessed with a strong set of producers for his debut album, This Is How We Do It. Working with material that is essentially sub-par, the production team turns in seamless performances, creating hooks and melodies from the deep bass and beats. Jordan's skills as a rapper are fine – he does nothing particularly noteworthy, yet he certainly does not ruin the tracks." Connie Johnson, writing for The Los Angeles Times, noted that Jordan "has a youthful bravado that permeates every track of his debut release, particularly the hard-slammin’, smash-hit title track. There are some impressive romantic tunes too, but for heart-tugging sincerity, nothing beats his father-to-son love song "Daddy’s Home"." ==Track listing==
