A Day in the Life is the second studio album by American R&B singer Eric Benét. It was released on April 27, 1999, on Warner Bros. Records. Benet's follow-up to his debut album, True to Myself (1996), it has sold close to 900,000 copies in the United States.
AllMusic editor Michael Gallucci wrote: "Benét scores with a series of mellow grooves and sizzling duets aimed at both the body and brain. A Day in the Life is sharper than contemporary R&B, keeping the arrangements and production simple, all the while nodding toward the genre's golden era of the '70s." Yahoo! Music UK called A Day in the Life "an appropriately polished package with collaborations from Wyclef Jean, DuPlaix and George Nash, Jr. amongst the collaborators. Fans [...] won't be disappointed." USA Today critic Steve Jones praised A Day in the Life for establishing Benét as a "soulful and thoughtful love man," highlighting duets like "Georgy Porgy" with Faith Evans, "Spend My Life With You" with Tamia, and the edgy "Ghetto Girl" with MeâÂÂshell NdegeOcello, while noting that although he "occasionally gets too smooth," he compensates with the jazzy "When You Think of Me" and the churchy "Love the Hurt Away."
