Background
"Gone Away", which leaked onto the internet in late July, was thought to be a track on the album, but according to Joe's Twitter on August 1, 2011 it is not. Joe said, "The Neptunes song that hit the net today IS me, but we recorded that a loooong time ago. Years ago. It will not be on the new album"[2]

AllMusic | [3] |
The National | [4] |
AllMusic editor Andy Kellman rated the album two and a half stars ouf of five. He noted that "the album will not surprise anybody; it's very much a Joe album, based in soft-hued bedroom backdrops that, for the most part, crawl and slink without getting hotter than an occasional simmer. The Good, the Bad, the Sexy does not offer a retreat from Signature's carnal content."[3] Reem Buhazza, writing for Abu Dhabi-based daily newspaper The National found that "the album's slow pace and the substandard production on some tracks could easily bore the more casual listener. But what the album lacks in musical variety and production polish, it makes up for with Joe's unmatched raw vocal talent and irresistible signature sound. Joe's grounded approach to R&B works in his favour on standout tracks."[4]
