O-Town is a quintet of squeaky clean boys pulled from a thousand hopefuls whose struggles were detailed, step by step, on Making the Band. Offering both reality TV and boy band marketing to viewers, the limited-run series weeded out a bunch of contenders, through sweat and tears, to give listeners Ashley, Dan, Erik, Jacob, and Trevor and their self-titled debut. ~ Michael Gallucci, All Music Guide

O-Town was the eponymous debut album of the Americanboy bandO-Town. It was released after their #10 hit, "Liquid Dreams". The album peaked at #5 and spawned the #3 follow-up single, "All or Nothing", which also made it to #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The third American single "We Fit Together" was an MTV favorite, but failed to chart, stalling at #4 on the BillboardBubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Chart (i.e. #104) despite being featured on the Dr. Dolittle 2 soundtrack. The fourth single, "Love Should Be a Crime", was not featured on any of Billboard's U.S. charts at all, although it made it to the top 40 in the UK, albeit as their lowest-charting single from the album.
