The album's first single was "Let Me Love You," produced by Brian Alexander Morgan. A video was also shot for the single. The follow-up single was "Separate Ways," released as a double-A side single with "Family Affair." The Martyn Ware-produced "Family Affair" was actually released in 1991 and billed as "BEFfeaturingLalah Hathaway".
Critical reception
AllMusic editor Alex Henderson found that like Hathaway's debut album, A Moment "is a mixed bag ranging from the strong to the decent to the routine Overall, this is a slightly weaker effort than Hathaway's debut. One hoped that eventually, she would live up to her promise and deliver a truly outstanding album, one that would become a huge name in R&B."
