AllMusic[2]

Steve Huey of AllMusic rated Force of Nature three out of five stars. He found that "there doesn't seem to be much here that will truly separate Tank from the rest of an already crowded R&B pack, but Force of Nature is well-crafted enough for its Top Ten status to make sense."[2] Entertainment Weekly's Evan Serpick compared Tank's music on Force of Nature with singer D'Angelo: "But while D'Angelo — with his jazz riffs and vocal subtlety — oozes sexy cool, Tank steamrolls listeners with his leaden beats and showy Mariah-esque gyrations."[3]

Commercial performance

Force of Nature debuted and peaked at number 7 on the US Billboard 200 in the week of March 31, 2001, selling 97,000 copies in its first week.[4] It also became Tank's first album to debut at number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[5] Force of Nature has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
