I Don't Want You Back received generally mixed reviews from music critics who found the production by-the-numbers and felt that his potty-mouth gimmick wore thin. Johnny Loftus of AllMusic found a lot of filler in the album but said that it is 'still quite promising, especially with such a statement-making single.'[2]Entertainment.ie was mixed about the album's tracks with their depiction of women, concluding that 'Eamon certainly has plenty of attitude and his album is undeniably good fun. But he also has a bit of growing up to do.'[3] Rob Kemp of Rolling Stone said he saw promise in Eamon through the album's competent R&B production and the track 'I Love Them Ho's (Ho-Wop),' concluding that 'you wonder if this modestly gifted kid has something special inside him that perhaps Kanye West or R. Kelly could coax out.'[1]
Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine found Eamon's talent on the album limited, saying that the tracks that don't mix his dirty mouth with Motown and doo-wop melodies aren't 'clever or well-constructed enough to transcend the misogyny and double-standards put on whorish display.'[8] Despite praising Eamon's vocals, the album's beats and guest rap appearances, Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian found the swearing crooner gimmick throughout the album wearing thin before it even ended.[4]Robert Christgau graded the album as a 'dud',[7] indicating 'a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought.'[10] Elysa Gardner of USA Today criticized the album for its lack of humor or irony throughout the tracklist, saying that 'Eamon makes Eminem look like a standard-bearer for feminists.'[9]
Commercial performance[edit]
The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 106,000 copies.[11] It dropped to number nine in its second week with sales dropping 31% to 73,000 copies.[12] It was certified Gold by the RIAA and has sold 591,000 copies as of June 2006.[13]

History[edit]
The success of the single and the controversial nature of its lyrics prompted production of an answer song, 'F.U.R.B. (Fuck You Right Back)', by female singer Frankee, who claimed to be Eamon's ex-girlfriend.[1] While Eamon initially said that he selected Frankee to record the song at an audition, he later stated that his only involvement was in clearing the use of the music with the following statement:
'I was not involved with 'F.U.R.B.' I have never met Frankee and she is definitely not my girlfriend or ex-girlfriend. The only way I was associated with it was when I was asked for licensing permission by Frankee's representatives, which makes me a writer on her song by copyright law. But I really didn't expect all this to come out of it, they are having fun with it, it's cool but in the end they are paying me for their 15 minutes of fame and I welcome her to my world of Ho-Wop!'[2][3]
During the success of both songs in the United Kingdom, BBC Radio 1 host Chris Moyles was heavily critical of them, going as far as to record and broadcast his own spoof version; 'We Want You to Leave', claiming that both singles were the product of what amounted to nothing more than a cynical marketing ploy by Eamon and Frankee's record labels.
The song was included on the Australian compilation CD So Fresh: The Hits of Winter 2004, part of a season compilation series surrounding the top surrounding the greatest hits of each season of each year.[4]
Because of the great success of the song in Italy, an Italian version of the song was released. Its title was 'Solo' and its lyrics, written by J-Ax, were changed so they did not contain any expression deemed offensive. The author of the 'Solo' reached number 2 on the Italy charts.[5]
The song reached number 1 in the Netherlands and even lead to a parody song called 'Vakkenvuller' by Dutch singer Hans Goes (using the alias 'Simon'), which was also a big hit.[6][7]
Music video[edit]
The video starts with black and white footage of Eamon and his girlfriend enjoying a trip together, then it cuts to color purporting to be present day outside at Bari's Pizza in Staten Island, New York. Eamon and his girlfriend are sitting across from one another while a different couple at another table kiss each other. Eamon's girlfriend starts to well up with tears in her eyes while Eamon is singing.
A teardrop comes out of her left eye and drops into a puddle below, causing ripples to appear. The video then cuts to varying scenes of couples on park benches, Eamon in a sound recording booth, and Eamon in a room as he rips a picture to shreds and throws a wine bottle at the camera. Eamon stands with his back to the Brooklyn Bridge, singing. The video cuts back to Bari's Pizza showing the girl continuing to cry, as Eamon gets angry, throws the pizza on the ground and then gets up and walks away on a path and the girl gets up.
The video ends with footage of them both kissing in black and white then cutting back to the present with Eamon walking along a pathway and his girlfriend follows him.
