The album received numerous accolades including the Wall Street Journal calling it "one of the superior albums of the year", NPR Music naming it "Best of 2011", and rave reviews from The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and People Magazine. Scott's successful return additionally came with a string of firsts, gracing her first Billboard Magazine cover, as well as her first solo performance at the 2011 BET Awards, named by The Washington Post as one of the night's greatest performances.??

The Light of The Sun, follows the success of Scott's debut #1 single "So In Love" featuring Anthony Hamilton, which stood atop the radio charts for an astounding 18 weeks and tying the all-time BDS record with Maxwell's "Lifetime" single at 17 weeks.
