The song became MC Lyte's highest charting single in the U.S., peaking at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also became her second single to achieve a gold certification from the RIAA, earning the award on May 31, 1996.
In November 1996, MC Lyte performed this song when she appeared in the second season of the UPN sitcom Moesha.
Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "A fast-rising US hit from the Sunset Park soundtrack, MC Lyte featuring Xscape's Keep On, Keepin' On has been cleaned up for radio and is a splendid rap, further decorated by Xscape's soulful interjections. Based on a looped portion of Michael Jackson's Liberian Girl, it's a strong contender."[1]
